A space station has an interior volume of 50m ^ 3 and at 25 °C it maintains an atmosphere of 10 ^ 5 Pa, which can be considered an ideal gas. If a 5mm diameter meteor makes a hole in the station wall, calculate:

a) the number of molecules that leave space per second.

b) the time in which the pressure would be reduced by 10% (for simplicity, suppose that the atmosphere contains only N2).

Two astronauts are on a space station preparing for a mission to Mars. The space station is powered by the combustion of a mixture of gases released from the high pressure container in which they are both contained. When not in use, the high pressure gas canister is stored in the far corner of the station away from the crew. One of the two gases possesses a high molecular weight, has a strong foul odor but is harmless to humans...
