Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The volume of a balloon filled with helium at an altitude where the pressure is
Concept Introduction:
Different laws have been put forward to introduce properties of gases:
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
Charles law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held
at constant pressure and number of molecules.

- The barometric pressure is about half the sea-level value of 760 mm Hg at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet 9,000-10,000 feet 14,000-15000 feet 18,000-19,000 feetarrow_forwardI took my basketball with 6 liters of air at 3 ATM and went deep sea diving with it. At70 meters, the intense water pressure crushed my ball, and now there are only 2.25 liters in the ball. What is the pressure at my new depth?arrow_forwardA bicycle pump contains 0.682 liters of air at 99.3 kpa . If the handle is pressed down decreasing the volume of the inside air to 0.151 L, what is the pressure inside the pump ? Assume temperature is constantarrow_forward
- Calculate the approximate PaO2 given the following conditions (assuming RQ=1): FiO2=.50 PB= 747 mmHg PaCO2= 45 mmHGarrow_forwardAccording to Dalton’s law, what is the partial pressure of amixture of gases? What is water vapor pressure?arrow_forwardThe human lungs can function satisfactorily up to a limit where the pressure difference between the outside and inside of the lungs is 1/19 of an atmosphere. If a diver uses a snorkel for breathing, how far below the water can she swim? Assume the diver is in saltwater its density is 1047 kg/m. Atmospheric pressure is Pata-1.01x10 Pa and g=9.8 m/s?.arrow_forward
- How many moles of air are in the lungs of an average person with a total lung capacity of 3.8 L? Assume that the person is at 1.0 atm pressure and has a normal body temperature of 37 °C.arrow_forwardCalculate the compliance (In terms of mL/mmHg) for the values in the figure. For tidal volume is 582 mL.arrow_forwardAn average adult inhales a volume of 0.50 X 10-3 m3 of air with each breath. If the air is warmed from room temperature (20 °C = 293 K) to body temperature (37 °C = 310 K) while in the lungs, what is the volume of the air exhaled?arrow_forward
- Why difference in pressure can be produced with sudden changes in altitude?arrow_forwardGiven the follwoing data, calculate the "compressible volume loss" and actual tidal volume. tidal volume = 500 mL CF = 4 mL/cmH2O Peak pressure = 20 cmH2O Lost volume = ? mL Actual tidal volume = ? mL Thank you :)arrow_forward
