What do you know about the air you are breathing? Think and reflect on the following questions and record your thoughts in your Thoughtbook. • What gases are present in the air you breathe? At what concentrations? • Which gas in the air is most essential to your life? • What gases in the air are responsible for acid rain? For global warming? • What other kinds of pollutants are in the air? Can you name any specific chemicals? We will revisit these questions at the end of the learning activity.arrow_forward
- 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.
