The International Space Station (ISS) has an internal volume of approximately 827 mThe temperature inside the ISS is 294 K and the partial pressure of oxygen is 0.207 atm. If the partial pressure of oxygen falls to 0.060 atm the lone astronaut on-board would die. Let's suppose that a small bit of space debris hits the ISS and puts a hole in it the size of a quarter (diameter = 24.26 mm) and that it would take a rescue ship 1.00 day to get to the ISS. Let's also assume that oxygen (M = 31.9988 g/mol) is the only gas to escape. How long (in hours) does it take for the oxygen level to drop to 0.060 atm? Report your answer to THREE significant figures.
