In an adult human, fully expanded lungs have a total lung capacity (TLC) of about 6 L. Some air remains after complete exhalation, and this volume is the functional residual capacity (FRC). A specific person has a known functional residual lung capacity (FRC) of 2.53 L and a total lung capacity (TLC) of 5.06 L. This person is in a room with an atmospheric pressure of 758.2 mmHg. Their internal temperature is 37.20 °C. How many moles of gas are exhaled with each breath?

Although ozone is an important component of the upper atmosphere, long-term exposure to ozone in the air we breathe can cause inflammation of the lung, impairment of lung defense mechanisms, and irreversible changes in lung structure. The EPA has set an 8 hour limit for ozone of 0.08 ppm as an air quality standard for cities. At the EPA limit, how many ozone molecules are present in 5.0 liters of air at 25 °C and 0.967 atm? (Hint: assume that air is an ideal gas and calculate the total number of molecules there are in 5.0 L. Then use the definition of ppm.)
An old gas cylinder you found lost its label. Lab supervisor is pretty sure that it is either He, Ne, Ar or Kr and you were tasked to figure out which one. What you did was that you transferred some of the gas from the old cylinder into an evacuated 10-L flask until the gauge pressure inside reached 1.00 atm. After sealing it, you carefully weighed the gas-filled flask and figured out that the mass of the gas (excluding that of the flask) was 15 g. If the temperature and barometric pressure in the lab was 27°C and 1 atm, what was the gas?
If there are 1.5 x 109 cows each "passing" on the average 240. Liters of CH4 (g) per day, in one day if all of that CH4 were to be safely collected and undergo a controlled but complete combustion reaction, how many grams of CO2 would contribute to the Greenhouse effect of the Earth? You will first need to have the combustion reaction of CH4. Make an assumption that the Temperature of the collected gas is 22.4 L = 1 mol, STP conditions (which it really is not at).
A gas phase reaction occurs in a syringe at constant temperature and pressure. If the initial volume in the syringe is 12.3 mL and the final volume is 4.1 mL, which of the following general reactions could have occurred? a) A(g) + B(g) → AB(g) b) 2A(g) + B(g) → A2B(g) c) 2AB(g) → A2(g) + 2B(g) d) 2AB (g) → A2(g) + B2(g) e) 2A2(g) + 4B(g) → 4AB(g) a e
Three bulbs are connected by tubing, and the tubing is evacuated. The volume of the tubing is 49.0 mL The first bulb has a volume of 58.0 ml and contains 6.07 atm of argon, the second bulb has a volume of 250 ml. and contains 1.62 atm of neon, and the third bulb has a volume of 27.0 ml. and contains 7.72 atm of hydrogen. If the stopcocks (valves) that isolate all three bulbs are opened, what is the final pressure of the whole system in atm? Answer:
Since volume and pressure are inversely related, we can make some assumptions about initial and final states using the data provided. We can also identify initial and final states by finding trigger words in the language of the problem. Look for words like “first,” “initially,” or “originally” to describe initial states and “result” or “after” for final states. What volume would a sample of helium occupy at 6.0 atm if the helium was initially compressed in a 1.0 L tank at 20. atm at constant temperature? Organize your data into the table to help analyze the problem. Leave blank any boxes for which you do not have information. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.
