DIY CO2 system question (Correct calculations)
"Ken Pinard" wrote in message
... Ok, now I am getting even more curious, Do you happen to know the volume of 2 mols of CO2? How about the volume of single bubble from a 1/4" (standard) air line? Yeh, I've gone off the deep end. I was just thinking that I might be able to guess the length that a solution could survive and how much CO2 would be available for the tank during that time. Basically, the it won't change the how often I change the bott , ut I started in Chemistry in college because I found the numbers intriguing. Thank you again, Ken Pinard 1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 litres of space, so 2 moles would be 44.8 litres. The volume of a bubble with a diam f 1/4" (0.635cm) is 0.134 cm2. So 44.8 litres is 44800 cm2 divide that by 0.134 cm2 you get 334328.36 bubbles. Hope that helps, and let me know if I made any mistakes. Harry P.S. I double checked my math and it seems alright, but I'm curious if there's some mistake somewhere, cause that many bubbles, at 1 bubble per second would only last about 3-4 days. It might have something to do with the fact that bubbles from 1/4" tubing will be smaller than 1/4". -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
