Assume a certain adult requires 274 mL of pure oxygen per minute and assume inhaled air contains
20.0 percent oxygen by volume and exhaled air is 16.0 percent. (Also, assume that the volume of inhaled
air is equal to that of the exhaled air.) If the person breathes 12.0 times every minute, what is the
volume of air per breath?
mL
Consider the following:
If you have 100 grams of water (density: 1.0 g/mL) and 100 grams of vodka (density: 0.92 g/mL) at the same temperature, which sample has the greater volume, and why?
they have equal volume, since volume is not affected by density
vodka, since it would require more volume than water to reach the same mass
not enough information to determine
water, since density is directly proportional to volume
Gallium is a solid metal at room temperature but
melts into a liquid in your hand. The melting point of
gallium is 85.6 °F.
The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin. What is the melting point (temperature) on the Kelvin scale?
Express the temperature to one decimal place and include the appropriate units.
