the purpose of space travel, for example-these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive. Suppose that the nanocontainers were cubic and had an edge length of 25 nanometers. a. What is the volume of one nanocontainer? (Ignore the thickness- of the nanocontainer's wall.) b. Suppose that each nanocontainer could contain pure oxygen pressurized to a density of 85 g/L. How many grams of oxygen could be contained by each nanocontainer? E. Air typically contains about 0.28 g of oxygen per liter. An aver- human inhales about 0.50 L of air per breath and takes age about 20 breaths per minute. How many grams of oxygen does a human inhale per hour? (Assume two significant figures.) H. What is the minimum number of nanocontainers that a person would need in his bloodstream to provide 1 hour's worth of oxygen?
