Since we are told that 1L of air contains 0.21L of oxygen, you can use the conversion (0.21L O₂)/(1L air).  That means that you can just multiply 6.0L by 0.21L to get 1.26L of O₂.
that means that the lungs can hold about 1.26L of oxygen.
I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Calculate the mass in grams of 1.72×10^24 molecules of formaldehyde. The chemical formula for formaldehyde is CH2O.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: m= 85.8 g CH2O

Explanation: First step is convert the molecules of CH2O to moles using the Avogadro's Number.

1.72x10²⁴ molecules CH2O x 1 mole CH2O / 6.022x10²³ molecules CH2O

= 2.86 moles CH2O

Next is convert the moles of CH2O to mass using the molar mass of CH2O

2.86 moles CH2O x 30 g CH2O / 1 mole CH2O

= 85.8 g CH2O

180m/173 Tl -> 180/173 Tl + ? Express your answer as a nuclear equation ​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: The nuclear equation is ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction in which a heavy particle splits into another particle along with release of energy is called a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma

Here, energy is radiated in the form of gamma radiation.

Thus, we can conclude that the nuclear equation is ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma.
