The tidal lung volume of human breathing, representing the amount of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breath, is 500 cm3. (As

sume atmospheric pressure.)(a) What is the number of molecules of air inhaled with each human breath when the air temperature is 18.0°C?________molecules(b) If the molar mass of air is 28.96 g/mol, what is the mass of air molecules inhaled with each breath? (Assume the air temperature is 18.0°C.)(c) It has been calculated that all of the air in Earth's atmosphere could be collected into a sphere of diameter 1,999 km at a pressure of 1.00 atm. What is the mass of the air in Earth's atmosphere? (Assume the density of air used in this calculation was 1.225 kg/m3.)(d) If all 7 billion humans on Earth inhaled simultaneously, what percentage of the atmosphere would be inhaled during this process? (Assume the air temperature is 18.0°C everywhere on Earth.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature of air = 18°C = 273 + 18 = 291 K .

volume = 500 cc = 0 .5 litre .

pressure = one atmosphere ( atm) .

From gas equation , we can calculate this volume at NTP  as follows.

volume = .5 x ( 273 / 291  ) litre

= 0.469 litre .

In any gas at NTP , 22.4 litre contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

.469 litre will contain  6.02 x 10²³ x .469 / 22.4 molecules

= 126 x 10²⁰ molecules .

b )

one mole = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

6.02 x 10²³ molecules  has weight of 28.96 grams

126 x 10²⁰ molecules has weight of 28.96 x 126 x 10²⁰ / 6.02 x 10²³ grams

= .606 gram .

c )

volume of all the air in the atmosphere = volume of sphere

=  4 / 3 x π  x R³

= ( 4 / 3) x 3.14 x (999.5 x 10³ )³ m³

= 4.18 x 10¹⁸ m³

density of air = 1.225 kg / m³

mass of air = 1.225 x 4.18 x 10¹⁸ kg

= 5.12 x 10¹⁸ kg

d )

volume of air inhaled by 7 billion people

= . 5 x 7 x 10⁹ litre

= 3.5 x 10⁶ m³ .

Total volume of air in atmosphere = 4.18 x 10¹⁸ m³

required percentage

= 3.5 x 10⁶ x 100 /  4.18 x 10¹⁸

= .8373 x 10⁻¹⁰ % .

What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s²?
mihalych1998 [28]

Newton's Second law of motion: 

                  Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                  Force = (15kg) x (8m/s²) = 120 kg-m/s² = 120 newtons

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.195 mm, and a screen is placed 5.30 m from the slits. If the bright
kumpel [21]

Answer:

λ = 596 nm.

Explanation:

Fringe width = λ D / d

λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation.

Putting the values

1.62 x 10⁻² =(  λ x 5.3 ) / .195 x 10⁻³

\lambda=\frac{1.62\times10^{-2}\times195\times10^{-6}}{5.3}

λ = 596 nm.
