Imagine that you were the chief engineer for NASA's Apollo 13 mission to the moon. The air filter which they had been using is fully saturated
and no longer works. The astronauts are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. You remember that the
astronauts have a container of 14.5 kg of sodium hydroxide on the ship. As a chemical engineer, you know that sodium hydroxide can be used
to remove carbon dioxide from the air by producing sodium carbonate and dihydrogen monoxide.
How many liters of carbon dioxide are cleaned by the amount of sodium hydroxide given in the problem?
The astronauts have 3 days left before they land on earth. You know that there are 4 astronauts, and each astronaut emits roughly 700 grams of
carbon dioxide (CO2) each day.

Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required.

- In setting up this experiment, a student noticed that a bubble of air leaked into the graduated cylinder when it was inverted in the water bath. What effect would this have on the measured volume of hydrogen gas? Would the calculated molar volume of hydrogen gas be too high or too low as a result of this error? Explain. 2. A student noticed that the magnesium ribbon appeared to be oxidized—the metal surface was black and dull rather than silver and shiny. What effect would the oxidized magnesium ribbon have on the measured volume of hydrogen gas? Would the calculated molar volume of hydrogen be too high or too low as a result of this error?

- One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copp metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CUSO ¿(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO,(aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 500. mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass c 97. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample.
