Answer:

P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Dalton's law, which explains that the total pressure of a gaseous system equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing, for the gaseous mixture composed by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide it would be possible to write:

P_{tot}=P_{N_2}+P_{O_2}+P_{CO_2}

Now, given the pressure of the system and those of oxygen and nitrogen, we calculate that of carbon dioxide as shown below:

P_{CO_2}=P_{tot}-P_{N_2}-P_{O_2}\\\\P_{CO_2}=250mmHg-50mmHg-175mmHg\\\\P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Best regards!

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The lung

Explanation:

The model of the respiratory system made by Megan consists of two balloons. The first balloon stretched across the bottom of the bottle represents the diaphragm which contracts and relaxes to allow air in and out of the lungs. The balloon inside the bottle represents one lung.

Breathing in causes the balloon inside the bottle to be filled with air. This is preceded by the expansion of the diaphragm which makes the lungs to be filled with air. Breathing out causes a contraction of the diaphragm thus making the lungs to let out air.
