Assume a person has lungs that can hold V = 4.9 L of air (at 1 atm), and their body temperature is currently T = 37° C. How many moles of air does the average human have in their lungs when they breath in?
Adi S.
How many moles of air are present in the lungs if they occupy a volume of 5.0 L at 37 °C and 740 mm Hg? How many molecules of air does this correspond to?
Chareen G.
An average pair of lungs has a volume of 5.5 L. If the air they contain is $21 \%$ oxygen, how many molecules of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ do the lungs contain at 1.1 atm and $37^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
