- You have scored a great internship with NASA, working on planning for an upcoming mission to Mars. The transfer orbit to Mars will last for several months and will require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen and 1.00 mol of methane as a byproduct. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the orientation of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.09 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methanegenerated in the respiration recycling of three astronauts during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 150-L tank at -45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?arrow_forwardA 20.0 L tank contains 4.86 * 10-4 kg of helium at 18.0C.
