Question

Assume the minimum respiration rate of a chipmunk is 1.5micromoles of O₂/min. The corresponding volumetric rate of gas intake is 0.05 dm³/min at STP.
(a)What is the deepest a chipmunk can burrow a 3-cm diameter
hole beneath the surface in Ann Arbor, Michigan?D_AB= 1.8×10^–5m²/s
(b)In Boulder, Colorado?
(c)How would your answers to (a) and (b) change in the dead of winter when T= 0°F?
(d)Critique and extend this problem (e.g., CO₂poisoning). Thanks to Professor Robert Kabel at Pennsylvania State University. Hint:Review derivations and equations for W A and WB to see how they can be applied to this problem
