Snorkelers breathe through short tubular "snorkels" while swimming under water very near the surface. One end of the snorkel attaches to the snorkeler's mouth while the other end protrudes above the water's surface. Unfortunately, snorkels cannot support breathing to any great depth: it is said that a typical snorkeler below a water depth of only about 30 cm cannot draw a breath through a snorkel. Part A Based on this claim, what is the approximate fractional change in a typical person's lung volume when drawing a breath? Assume, in equilibrium, the air pressure in a snorkeler's lungs matches that of the surrounding water pressure. Express your answer using two significant figures. AV % Vrelaxed Submit Request Answer
You can smell perfume very shortly after opening thebottle. To show that it is not reaching your nose by diffusion,calculate the average distance a perfume molecule moves inone second in air, given its diffusion constant D to be1.00×10–6 m2 /s .
Platelet cells in blood play an essential role in the formation of clots and exist in normal human blood at the level of about 2.00 × 105 per cubic millimeter. In order to illustrate that diffusion alone is not responsible for transporting platelets, consider the following situation. The diffusion constant for platelets in blood is approximately 5.00 x 1o-10 m2/s. About how long would it take a platelet to diffuse from the center of an artery (diameter 9.50 mm) to a clot forming on one wall of the artery? 9.02E4 S
In the lungs, the respiratory membrane separates tiny sacs of air (absolute pressure=1.00x105 Pa) from the blood in the capillaries. These sacs are called alveoli, and it is from them that oxygen enters the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.125 mm, and the air inside contains 14% oxygen, which is somewhat smaller amount than in fresh air. Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gas at body temperature (310 K), find the number of oxygen molecules in one of the sacs.
A 2.5-m-tall steel cylinder has a cross-sectional area of 1.5 m2. At the bottom, with a height of 0.5 m, is liquid water, on top of which is a 1-m high layer of gasoline, relative density of 0.8. The gasoline surface is exposed to atmospheric air at 101 kPa. What is the total mass of the liquid in the cylinder? 2000 kg O 1250 kg O 3250 kg O 1625 kg
Bacteria have a density that is about the same as water. Their average velocity is 10^-3 m/s. A bacterium with a radius of 1 um should have a diffusion coefficient of about 2.2x10^-13 m^2/s. (a) Find the random-walk step size (b) How long does it take for an average walk to reach 1 mm in seconds and days? Note that we are considering the diffusion away from the starting point and are calculating the distance through three dimensions. Show your work
A deep-sea diver should breathe a gas mixture that has the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level, where dryair contains 20.9% oxygen and has a total pressure of 1.01×105 N/m2.

(b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00×106 N/m2, what percent oxygen shouldit be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?

48. GO The diffusion constant for the amino acid glycine in water has a value of 1.06 X 10-º m²/s. In a 2.0-cm-long tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 × 10-“ m², the mass rate of diffusion is mlt = 4.2 × 10-1ª kg/s, because the glycine concentration is maintained at a value of 8.3 × 10-³ kg/m³ at one end of the tube and at a lower value at the other end. What is the lower concentration?
