Question
Chapter 21, Problem 40E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the reason for the basis of the fix of the pencils.
Concept introduction:
At room temperature, one other allotrope of carbon is found which is called graphite and is a chemically stable form of the same. It has a layered structure which is very difficult to be drawn in three dimensions. It contains delocalized electrons which are free to move anywhere within the sheet that are stacked together in the form of layers in its structure.

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.
• How many liters of CO2 are produced by the astronauts?
• Is there enough NaOH for the astronauts to survive the rest of their trip?
If the astronaut survived the trip, how much NaOH was left over?
If the astronaut…
