The oxidizing agent our bodies use to obtain energy from food is oxygen (from the air). If you breathe 15 times a minute (at res
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of breathe per minute = 15times
Volume of air per breath = 0.5L
Percentage of oxygen in air = 21%
Solution
There are 24 hours in a day.
60minutes makes a hour in a day,
I will breathe:
15 times x 60 x 24 = 21600 times in a day
The volume of air I will take in per day:
A breathe = 0.5L of air
21600breathe = 0.5 x 21600 = 10800L of air
Volume of oxygen I will breathe per day:
x 10800 = 2268L of oxygen

If 0.400 moles CO and 0.400 moles O2 completely react, 17.604 grams of CO2 would be produced.
First, let us look at the balanced equation of reaction:
According to the equation, the mole ratio of CO and O2 is 2:1. But in reality, the mole ratio supplied is 1:1. Thus, CO is the limiting reactant while O2 is in excess.
Also from the equation, the ratio of CO consumed to that of CO2 produced is 1:1. Thus, 0.400 moles of CO2 would also be produced from 0.400 moles of CO.
Recall that: mole = mass/molar mass
Therefore, the mass in grams of CO2 that would be produced from 0.400 moles can be calculated as:
Mass = mole x molar mass
= 0.400 x 44.01
= 17.604 grams
