Chapter 8: Problem 50

The average lung capacity of a human is \(6.0 \mathrm{~L}\). How many moles of air are in your lungs when you are in the following situations? a. At sea level \((T=298 \mathrm{~K}, P=1.00 \mathrm{~atm})\). b. \(10 . \mathrm{m}\) below water \((T=298 \mathrm{~K}, P=1.97 \mathrm{~atm})\). c. At the top of Mount Everest \((T=200 . \mathrm{K}, P=0.296 \mathrm{~atm})\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
In conclusion, the number of moles of air in the lungs is approximately: a. 0.245 mol at sea level. b. 0.482 mol at 10 m below water. c. 0.108 mol at the top of Mount Everest.

Step by step solution

01

Extract Given Values

From the exercise, we are given the following values: 1. Lung capacity (V) = 6.0 L 2. For situation a: T = 298 K, P = 1.00 atm 3. For situation b: T = 298 K, P = 1.97 atm 4. For situation c: T = 200 K, P = 0.296 atm 5. The gas constant (R) = \(0.0821 \mathrm{~L~atm~K^{-1}~mol^{-1}}\)
02

Apply the Ideal Gas Law Formula for Situation a

The Ideal Gas Law formula is PV = nRT. We will rearrange the formula to solve for n, which gives: \(n = \frac{PV}{RT}\). Now we will plug in the given values for situation a: \(n = \frac{(1.00 \mathrm{~atm})(6.0 \mathrm{~L})}{(0.0821 \mathrm{~L~atm~K^{-1}~mol^{-1}})(298 \mathrm{~K})}\)
03

Calculate Number of Moles for Situation a

Now, we can calculate the number of moles of air in the lungs in situation a: \(n = \frac{(1.00)(6.0)}{(0.0821)(298)}\) \(n 鈮� 0.245 \mathrm{~mol}\)
04

Apply the Ideal Gas Law Formula for Situation b

Now we will plug in the given values for situation b: \(n = \frac{(1.97 \mathrm{~atm})(6.0 \mathrm{~L})}{(0.0821 \mathrm{~L~atm~K^{-1}~mol^{-1}})(298 \mathrm{~K})}\)
05

Calculate Number of Moles for Situation b

Now, we can calculate the number of moles of air in the lungs in situation b: \(n = \frac{(1.97)(6.0)}{(0.0821)(298)}\) \(n 鈮� 0.482 \mathrm{~mol}\)
06

Apply the Ideal Gas Law Formula for Situation c

Now we will plug in the given values for situation c: \(n = \frac{(0.296 \mathrm{~atm})(6.0 \mathrm{~L})}{(0.0821 \mathrm{~L~atm~K^{-1}~mol^{-1}})(200 \mathrm{~K})}\)
07

Calculate Number of Moles for Situation c

Now, we can calculate the number of moles of air in the lungs in situation c: \(n = \frac{(0.296)(6.0)}{(0.0821)(200)}\) \(n 鈮� 0.108 \mathrm{~mol}\) In conclusion, the number of moles of air in the lungs is approximately: a. 0.245 mol at sea level. b. 0.482 mol at 10 m below water. c. 0.108 mol at the top of Mount Everest.

Methanol \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right)\) can be produced by the following reaction: $$\mathrm{CO}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(g)$$ Hydrogen at STP flows into a reactor at a rate of \(16.0 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min.}\) Carbon monoxide at STP flows into the reactor at a rate of \(25.0 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min.}\). If \(5.30\) \(\mathrm{g}\) methanol is produced per minute, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Sulfur trioxide, \(\mathrm{SO}_{3},\) is produced in enormous quantities each year for use in the synthesis of sulfuric acid. $$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{S}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \longrightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g) \\\2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)\end{aligned}$$ What volume of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) at \(350 .^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and a pressure of \(5.25\) atm is needed to completely convert \(5.00 \mathrm{g}\) sulfur to sulfur trioxide?

A \(2.747-\mathrm{g}\) sample of manganese metal is reacted with excess \(HCl\) gas to produce \(3.22 \mathrm{L} \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\) at \(373 \mathrm{K}\) and 0.951 atm and a manganese chloride compound (MnCl_). What is the formula of the manganese chloride compound produced in the reaction?

Air bags are activated when a severe impact causes a steel ball to compress a spring and electrically ignite a detonator cap. This causes sodium azide (NaN, ) to decompose explosively according to the following reaction:$$2 \mathrm{NaN}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Na}(s)+3 \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)$$ What mass of \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}(s)\) must be reacted to inflate an air bag to \(70.0 \mathrm{L}\) at \(\mathrm{STP} ?\)

A \(2.00-\mathrm{L}\) sample of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) was collected over water at a total pressure of \(785\) torr and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). When the \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) was dried (water vapor removed), the gas had a volume of \(1.94 \mathrm{L}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(785\) torr. Calculate the vapor pressure of water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
