What is the total pressure of air in lungs of an individual with oxygen at 100. mmHg, nitrogen at 573 mmHg, carbon dioxide at 0.
1 answer:
Answer: The total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg
Explanation:
According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.
Given : =total pressure of gases = ?
= partial pressure of oxygen = 100 mm Hg
= partial pressure of nitrogen = 573 mm Hg
= partial pressure of Carbon dioxide = 0.053 atm = 40.28 mm Hg(1 atm = 760 mmHg)
= partial pressure of water vapor = 47 torr = 47 mm Hg (1torr=1 mm Hg)
putting in the values we get:
Thus the total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg

It depends on what type of graph you have. The easiest would be using a H-T diagram. Enthalpy of vaporization is the physical change from liquid to vapor. It occurs at a constant pressure and a constant temperature. As shown in the picture, 1 point is drawn on the subcooled liquid, and another point of the saturated vapor isothermal line. Now, the difference between those two points is the value for the enthalpy of vaporization of water.
