12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

A sample of oxygen has a volume of 128 milliliter at a pressure of 500.0 mmhg calculate the volume this sample would occupy at s
leva [86]

Answer:

84.2mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 128mL

Initial pressure (P1) = 500mmHg

Final pressure (P2) = stp = 760mmHg

Final volume (V2) =..?

Thus, the new volume of the gas can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

500 x 128 = 760 x V2

Divide both side by 760

V2 = (500 x 128)/760

V2 = 84.2mL

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 84.2mL
