Long-term space missions 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, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single
astronaut exhales 1,08 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 165-L
tank at -45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?
MPa

Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for intown driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision-making?
Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true?
If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.
If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container.
When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant.
At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms.

The stores comprising the mall are very popular. These stores include Converse, Gucci, Jansport, Fendi and all other popular brands, and so the demand to enter is very high. Security guards only allow one person through the doors at a time. As a result, the line and the wait are quite long. To add to the chaos, the waiting crowd is made mostly of frequent shoppers who are growing very impatient and holding up the line with their constant complains. Together, these factors affect the flow of customers into the shopping mall, just as electric resistance affects the flow of charges through a current. 1. What makes less resistance favorable in a circuit? 2.If the guard formed two adjacent lines to allow two people into the mall at a time, we would expect the mall to be filled up faster.

Scenario: I just climbed to the top of mount Everest and it is a beautiful day. For a celebration I want to eat a dehydrated meal with raw chicken. This is safe to do so?

- Some teenagers think that their parents are “full of hot air.” Your mom inhales 4 liters of air with a temperature of 20∘ Celsius. Since you think she is full of hot air, this temperature must increase while the air is in her lungs. If this air heats up to 37∘Celsius, what is the new volume of the gas? (Note that 37∘Celsius is 98.6∘Fahrenheit, which is normal body temperature.)
