Question

CO 2 levels above 5% of atmospheric composition are considered dangerously toxic. Assume that the amount of CO 2 in the spacecraft atmosphere prior to the failure of the scrubbing system is negligible. Based on the normal daily rate of CO 2 production, how much time after the failure does the crew have until the CO 2 level reaches 5%? Provide your answer in days with at least 2 decimal places.
