Chapter 5, Problem 5.36P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The masses of O₂ , CO₂ , and H₂ O transferred to the blood should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The volume of air exhaled per milliliter inhaled should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The rate this individual losing weight due to breathing should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The effect of atmospheric pressure on the rate of oxygen transfer in the blood should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,
