Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.88P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
When the patients are in the hyperbaric chamber how the oxygen gets delivered to the cells should be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
When the atmosphere contains excess carbon monoxide which is an odourless and tasteless gas our body inhales it instead of oxygen that can lead to serious damages of tissues and even causes death.

Explain the term "the bends" for deep sea divers?
The concentration of a gas in air is 0.694%. Express this value in ppm
The partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs is about 150 mm of Hg. (The partial pressure is the pressure of the oxygen alone, if all other gases were removed.) This corresponds to a concentration of 5.3 × 1024 molecules per m3. In the oxygen-depleted blood entering the pulmonary capillaries, the concentration is 1.4 × 1024 molecules per m3. The blood is separated from air in the alveoli of the lungs by a 1-μm-thick membrane. What is the rate of transfer of oxygen to the blood through the 5 × 10-9 m2 surface area of one alveolus? Give your answer in both molecules/s and μmol/s. Assume The diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2 × 10-11 m2/s.
