A normal breath has a volume of about 1 L . The pressure exerted by the lungs to draw air in is about 758 torr . If the surrounding air is at exactly 1 atm ( = 760 torr ) , calculate the change in entropy exerted on a breath of air due to its being inhaled into the lungs. Assume a temperature of 22.0 ° C . ( Hint: You will have to determine the number of moles of gas involved.)
