The volume of the lungs is measured by the volume of air inhaled or exhaled. If the volume of the lungs is 2.400 L during exhalation and the pressure is 101.70 KPa, and the pressure during inhalation is 101.01 KPa, what is the volume of the lungs during inhalation?

Respuesta :

Answer: The volume of the lungs during inhalation is 2.416 L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 101.70 kPa

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 101.01 kPa

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = 2.400 L

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final volume of gas.

[tex]101.70\times 2.400=101.01\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2=2.416L[/tex]

Thus the volume of the lungs during inhalation is 2.416 L
