The volume of air in a person's lungs is about 615 ml, at a pressure of 760 mm Hg. Inhalation occurs when the pressure in the lungs drops to 752 mm Hg. To what volume do the lungs expand?
Answer:
621.5mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 615mL
Initial pressure = 760mmHg
Final pressure = 752mmHg
Unknown;
Final volume = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we simply apply Boyle's law.
"the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".
Mathematically;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P and V are the pressure
1 and 2 are the initial and final states
Now insert the parameters and start;
760 x 615 = 752 x V₂
V₂ = 621.5mL
The answer is eight electrons.
Answer: The final temperature would be 1250.7 K.
Explanation: We are given a sample of helium gas, the initial conditions are:
(Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)
(Conversion Factor: 1° C = 273 K)
The same gas is expanded at constant pressure, so the final conditions are:
To calculate the final temperature, we use Charles law, which states that the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.
Putting the values, in above equation, we get:
Answer:
D. increase of carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Breathing is automatic and is controlled subconsciously by respiratory center at base of brain. It continues during the time of the sleep and even when the person is not in conscious. Sensory organs in brain and in aorta and the carotid arteries monitor blood and sense the oxygen and the carbon dioxide levels. <u>Usually, increased concentration of the carbon dioxide is the strongest stimulus for the breathing to occur more deeply and more frequently. </u>
When carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is high, the brain increases the frequency and the depth of breaths.
