the ideal gas equation is PV=nRT
where P=pressure
V=Volume
n=no. of moles
R=universal gas constant
T=temperature
The universal gas constant (R) is 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
a pressure of 746 mmhg =0.98 atm= 1 atm (approx)
T=37 degrees Celsius =37+273=310 K (convert it to Kelvin by adding 273)
V=0.7 L (only getting oxygen, get 21% of 3.3L)
Solution:
(1 atm)(0.7 L)=n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(310 K)
0.7 L*atm=n(25.451 L*atm/mol)
n=0.0275 mole
Answer:
n=0.0275 mole of oxygen in the lungs.
