Question

If your lungs were filled with air containing this level of lead, how many lead atoms would be in your lungs? (Assume a total lung volume of 5.60 LL .)

Answer 1

Answer:

1.505×10^23 atoms of lead

Explanation:

Volume of lead in the lungs = total volume of lungs = 5.60L

1 mole = 22.4L

5.6L of lead = 5.6/22.4 = 0.25 mole

From Avogadro's law

1 mole of lead contains 6.02×10^23 atoms of lead

0.25 mole of lead = 0.25×6.02×10^23 = 1.505×10^23 atoms of lead
