During respiration, the mole fraction of oxygen drops from ~0.21 for inhaled air to ~0.136 for exhaled air. If the average tidal volume (of each breath) for healthy adults is 500 mL and body temperature is 37 °C, what mass of oxygen is absorbed by the body during each breath when atmospheric pressure is exactly 1 atm? 85.5 mg 132 mg 46.5 mg 629 mg

Assume a person has lungs that can hold V = 4.6 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?
