If I knew my impending doom was upon me, I'd either want a device to end my life, or chloroform. I wouldn't want to feel my life slowly escaping me.

My 360 and my copy of Red Dead Redemption. I know I won't beat it in the time allotted, but I'd get as close as I could.

Hey, OP said we can't bring oxygen. He never said anything about making our own.

Chemistry major FTW.
Fancy Pants!

OT: I'unno. Probably somebody like fancy pants here, and that stuff, to keep me alive.

I would want enough cocaine to have a snowball fight with against these people.

I think the one on the bottom right has lost something between her massive boobs.

What can I say? I'm good.

I saw that in an episode of Hell Girl as well. They trapped someone in a giant Erlenmeyer flask and said they were going to synthesize oxygen. But instead of manganese dioxide, they added calcium carbonate and instead of hydrogen peroxide they added hydrochloric acid. Not a good combo at all. Especially in a sealed environment.

Observe:

CaCO[sub]3[/sub] + 2 HCl ----> CaCl[sub]2[/sub] + CO[sub]2[/sub] + H[sub]2[/sub]O

Carbon dioxide. Asphyxiant gas. The absolute worst thing you want to make in a sealed area.

Where is all the Mn going?

Manganese is a catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. It is not used up in the reaction, it only speeds it up.

Either a potted plant, or a guide to the planet that's thirty minutes away.

Though this is not part of the problem wouldn't the Mn eventually crush you or the water drown you? Well done though very creative.

Theoretically, if I performed the synthesis enough, yes. However, I'm fairly certain that catalysts are able to be distilled out of liquids, dried and used again. Now the water is a bit more problematic, but hopefully I'd be picked up before then.

I would want a machine that could modify my genetic structure in any way I wanted, which I would then use to allow me to survive without air (survive in vacuum basically). I would also modify my body to resist all forms of pressure, and to be immune to the icy cold, and extreme heat of space. So anything I would need to survive in outer space would be spliced into me.

If I can't have that then give me a planetary destruction lazer, because if I go down, I'm taking every rock withing 20 lightyears of my space pod with me.

Yeah, if the water gets in to your lungs either as a gas or liquid your so boned.

Well, the water synthesized in the reaction is in liquid form, so I would be able to contain it in...something, I guess. A container of some sort. Maybe the glassware I'm not using from the lab kit.
