You need to understand the ideal gas equation to solve this question. Sea level pressure should be around 1 atm. So, the calculation would be:

PV= nRT
n= RT/PV
n=  (0.082057 L atm / mol K)  (37+273.15)/ 1 atm (5L*20%)
n=<span>25.4499786 moles</span>

Answer:

n = 0.039 moles

Explanation:

Given that as we know that air content for oxygen are 20%, so as same for lungs which is equals to 1 liter.  

For mole (n) calculation we use

pV = nRT

we know that

10^5 Pa is the pressure(p) at sea level

1 liter or 1000cm^3 or 0.001m^3 is the volume(V) of air

8.314 is the value of R which is molar gas constant

For this equation we need to have temperature(T) in Kelvin (273+37)

273 is the temperature at zero in kelvins + 37 normal human body temperature

Re arranging the equation

n = pV/RT

substituting the values

n=10^5 x 0.001 / (8.314 * (273 + 37))

n = 0.039 moles

<span>Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) chemicals contain carbon, chlorine and fluorine and is t so expensive at the same time it’s not flammable, the reason why it is mainly used in business such as refrigerators and plastics. However, these chemicals destroys our stratosphere, the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere and protects us by blocking the ultraviolet radiation (UV Light). This type of radiation can seep through organisms skins and can leave destructive effects on DNA molecules which will also cause skin cancer.</span>

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____. a feature resulting from earthquake activity a feature
Monica [59]

The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.  

The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.  

The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.  

With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.
