Gases of Atmos

Gas Quick Reference

Gas	Storage Canister	Specific Heat [J/(mol*K)]	Molar Mass [kg/mol]	Notes
Oxygen		20	0.032	Oxidizer, necessary for human life
Nitrogen		20	0.028	-
Carbon Dioxide		30	0.044	Byproduct of respiration and combustion
Nitrous Oxide		40	0.044	Provides a long duration anesthetic, knocks out most biological entities
Plasma		200	0.405	Toxic to most biological life, flammable

Oxygen (O2)

Oxygen is necessary for life as we know it.

Nitrogen (N2)

Nitrogen is a common gas that actually makes up the bulk of breathable atmosphere on the CEV Eris.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Carbon Dioxide is the natural output of most forms of oxidization.

Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

Nitrous Oxide (aka laughing gas) is a useful tool for putting targets to sleep without killing them.

Plasma (!!!)

Plasma is a blessing and a curse.

Dealing with Gases

Scrubbers and Vents

The first line of defense against messes involving atmosphere are the ship's ventilation and filtering system.

Repairing Atmos Pipes

Often damage to the ship will also break the pipes that transport gases throughout the ship. These breaks can be repaired these steps:

1. Numbered list item

Protective Equipment

Individuals can protect themselves against errant gases by wearing the appropriate protective equipment.

Field Work

In the case that everything has gone wrong, the crew can manually work to filter their local atmosphere.
