===Now, for the number crunching and data.=== From here on in, a CANISTER refers to to the large, colored gas containers that you fill TANKS in. A CANISTER needs to be pulled, a TANK can be held in your hand. A full canister of plasma has an internal pressure of 4559.6 kPa. Said full canister of plasma was released in a 6x6 room, built in space. This room was entirely devoid of air, and had a temperature of 0 Celsius (270 Kelvin). A gas analyzer was used to measure the pressure in this 6x6 room. It was 20.4 kPa, and the temperature was 19C (289K). NOW, HERE IS THE VARIABLE PART: researchers agreed upon that our test samples had a volume of 1.6 m<sup>3</sup>. HOWEVER a competing group indicated they thought a single test cell was 2.5m<sup>3</sup>. Ultimately, using the 2.5 m³ tile messes things up, getting us into a situation where we end up with half a carbon, and, yeah. For the sake of completion, I'll post the math for both. '''First, the 1.6 m³:''' Using the Ideal Gas Formula (PV=nrt), we can calculate the number of moles of plasma in our test cannister, via some algebra fandangling. PV=nrt/rt = (PV)/(rt)=n. Pressure times volume DIVIDED BY gas constant times temperature equals moles. 1.6 m³ = 4.096. 6x6 = 36. 4.096 x 36 = 147.456. 1 m³ = 1000 l. 147.456 x 1000 = 147,456 l. (20.4 kPa)(147,456 l) / (8.314 kPa/l/K/mol)(292 K) = 3008102.4 / 2402.746 = '''1251.95 mol plasma.''' '''NOW FOR THE 2.5 m³:''' 2.5³ = 15.625 x 36 = 562.5 x 1000 = 562,500 l Plugging the 562,500 l into the equation and replacing the 147,456 l with it gives us '''4726.8 mol of plasma.''' This is quite a difference. ((((I also did this for oxygen, but ultimately that data is not needed for this, so yeah)))))
