Where do astronauts get drinking water from

Chemistry

k0ka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Nearly all of the water astronauts drink and shower with comes from their urine and sweat. Storage is hard to come by aboard the International Space Station. Even if a rocket had room to ferry thousands of pounds of water and oxygen to supply a six-month mission, you'd struggle to find anywhere to stash it.

Answer:

Astronauts drink water that comes from the ambient cabin's humidity, which is eventually condensed and returned to the water supply. The water is filtered from recycled shower water, astronaut sweat and urine.

The ka values for several weak acids are given below. which acid (and its conjugate base) would be the best buffer at ph = 8.0?
Pie
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of  6.3 x 10^-9.

To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value: 
     pKa = -log Ka

For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
     pKa = -log Ka
            = -log (6.3x10^-9)
            = 8.2

We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
     pKa = 8.2 = pH 

Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.

Identify the variables in the investigation: An investigation was done with an electromagnetic system made from a battery and wi
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Independent: sizes of nails

Dependent: number of paper clips

Controlled: Battery, wire and type of nails

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable which when changes does not the effect the results of the experiment. It does not depends upon the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is defined as a variable which is affected when the independent variable is changed by the researcher or the experimenter. It depends greatly upon the independent variable.

While a controlled variable is that variable whose value is not changed in an experiment. It contains all the constants.

In the context,

the independent variable are : sizes of nails

the dependent variables are : number of paper clips

the Controlled variables are: Battery, wire and type of nails

Magnesium (24.48g) reacts with hydrochloric acid (xg) to produce hydrogen gas (2.04g) and magnesium chloride (96.90g). How much
andriy [413]

Answer:

Mass = 73.73 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg used = 24.48 g

Mass of HCl used = ?

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 2.04 g

Mass of Magnesium chloride produced = 96.90 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl   →    MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 24.48 g/ 24.305 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.01 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Mg with HCl from balance chemical equation.

                              Mg             :            HCl

                               1                ;               2

                            1.01              :           2/1× 1.01 = 2.02 mol

Mass of HCl react:

Mass = number  of moles × molar mass

Mass =  2.02 ×  36.5 g/mol

Mass = 73.73 g
