Given the same partial pressure for oxygen and carbon dioxide, which respiratory gas enters a water solution more readily? Explain using Henry’s law.
Using the full and simplified versions of the alveolar gas equation, determine the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli for an oxygen partial pressure of 160 mm Hg in the alveoli, a total pressure of 810 mm Hg, a partial pressure of oxygen in the surrounding air of 204 mm Hg, and a respiratory exchange ratio of 0.8. And provide one reason why this equation is essential for clinicians in a hospital setting. In your answer, comment on calculation/computation compared to accurately measure this value inside an individual alveoli.
Calculate the expiratory reserve volume and residual volume from the following set of values (EC): Vital capacity 4900ml; total lung capacity 6400ml; inspiratory capacity 3800ml.

Blood flow through the lungs is 5 L/min, the permeability surface area of the alveolar blood-gas barrier is PHe,M S= 100 mL/s, and Bunsen solubility coefficients for He in blood and barrier are a*He,blood= 0.008 mL He/(mL blood* atm) and a*He,M= 0.08 mL He/(ml blood* atm), respectively.
