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

<h2>Visceral pleura</h2>

Explanation:

The portion of the serous membrane that covers and adheres to the lung is called visceral pleura

  • Pleura are the pair of membranous linings surrounding the lungs
  • The visceral pleura covers each lung surface, and the parietal pleura covers the inner surface of the thoracic cavity
  • The visceral pleura is a delicate membrane which dips into the fissures between the lobes of the lung
  • Pleura allows the lungs to move inside the body cavity without friction as friction would cause damage to the lungs and the tissue in the chest wall

white dwarf

Explanation:

A appears on the chart at the point of low luminosity but high surface temperatures. This indicated  a White Dwarf

A red giant is highly luminous stars mainly because of its large size. However, its surface temperature is hot a high when compared to white dwarfs. White dwarf surface temperatures can reach billions of degrees kelvin while red giants reach up to 5000 K on their surface.

A white dwarf is the last sequence of a low-mass star cycle and follows the red giant phase.
