Chapter 5, Problem 5.137P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ gas exhaled in $1\text{ h}$ of sleep are to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation can be expressed as follows,

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature, $n$ is the mole of the gas and $R$ is the gas constant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The grams of the body mass lost in $8\text{ h}$ of sleep is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation can be expressed as follows,

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature, $n$ is the mole of the gas and $R$ is the gas constant.
