Explanation Given info: The basal metabolic rate is 120 W , the volume of the breath is 0.600 L , the rate of breathe out is 22.0 breaths per minute , the temperature of the air is 37.0 ° C , the vapor pressure is 3.20 kPa , the latent heat of vaporization at 37.0 ° C is same as the heat of vaporization at 100 ° C . Write the expression for the volume of the breathe taken in one second. V breaths = N V Here, N is the number of breaths per second. V is the volume of breaths. Substitute 0.600 L for V and 22.0 breaths per minute for N in above equation. V breaths = ( 0.600 L × 1 m 3 1000 L ) ( 22.0 breaths per minute × 1 s 60 min ) = 2.2 × 10 − 4 m 3 Thus, the volume of the breaths is 2.2 × 10 − 4 m 3 . Write the expression for the ideal gas equation. P V breaths = n R T Here, P is the pressure. T is the temperature. V is the volume. R is the ideal gas constant. n is the number of moles. Substitute 2.2 × 10 − 4 m 3 for V breaths , 3.20 kPa for P , 8.31 J / mol ⋅ K for R and 37.0 ° C for T in above equation. ( 3.20 kPa × 10 3 Pa 1 kPa ) ( 2.2 × 10 − 4 m 3 ) = n ( 8.31 J / mol ⋅ K ) ( 37.0 °C + 273 ) K ≈ 2

Energy transfer

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…
