A volume of 0.70 L of air at 37°C is expelled from the lungs into cold surroundings at 1.3°C. What volume (in L) does the expelled air occupy at this temperature? The pressure and the number of gas particles do not change.
Added by Laura C.
Step 1
We know that the pressure and the number of gas particles do not change. This means that we can use the ideal gas law to solve for the volume of the air at the new temperature. Show more…
