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

Why are Mercury ,Venus ,Earth and Mars called the ¨terrestrial ¨ planets?
Gekata [30.6K]
The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like Earth's terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system. ... Without life, most of the oxygen would soon become part of the compounds on the planet's surface.

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is CO-ENZYME!

Explanation:

What do CO-ENZYMES do?

They are an organic (but not protein based) compound...they act in a reaction by assisting the enzymes to bind and react with another substance...this then makes the reaction even faster!

But they cannot ever work by themselves to catalyse a reaction!

The correct answer is it lives inside or on a host.

A is incorrect because a parasite steals from the host, without giving anything in return. Much like a leech

C is incorrect because leeches almost always use their host as a food source

D is incorrect because parasites can often dig beneath the host's skin to be hidden from sight
