Answer:
a) V air/day = 8640 L air an adult breaths / day
b) 0.0181 L CO intake a person / day
Explanation:
a) one average person has 12 breaths for min:
in each breath it take an average of 500 mL on air.
⇒ 12 breath / min * 500mL air / breath = 6000 mL air / min
the average air volume per day of a person is:
⇒ Vair/day = 6000 mL air / min * (60 min / h) * ( 24 h / day ) = 8640000 mLair / day * ( L / 1000 mL)
⇒ V air / day = 8640 L / day
b) 2.1 E-6 L CO / L air * 8640 L air / day = 0.0181 L CO / day
