Assume the minimum respiration rate of a chipmunk is 1.5 micromoles 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? DAB = 1.8 × 10-5 m2/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., CO2 poisoning).
