a) Oxygen is absorbed from the lungs into red blood cells where it is bound to hemoglobin and transported throughout the body. The concentration of oxygen in blood is approximately 100 mM. Now imagine that the blood is replaced by pure water. Given that the total pressure within the lungs is approximately 1 bar, and that the oxygen in the atmosphere equilibrates with this new "blood", what would be the concentration of oxygen in "blood"? Show all work. b) Imagine the Mars rover actually finds liquid water on the surface of Mars. The rover analyzes the water and finds that the water contains a 0.002M concentration of dissolved oxygen gas. What is the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the Martian atmosphere?

A chem V ngineer is studying the two reactions shown in the table below. In each case, he fills a reaction vessel with some mixture of the reactants and products at a constant temperature of 90.0 °C and constant total pressure. Then. he measures the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction entropy AS of the first reaction, and the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction free energy AG of the second reaction. The results of his measurements are shown in the table. Complete the table. That is, calculate AG for the first reaction and AS for the second. (Round your answer to zero decimal places.) Then, decide whether, under the conditions the engineer has set up, the reaction is spontaneous, the reverse reaction is spontaneous, or neither forward nor reverse reaction is spontaneous because the system is at equilibrium.

Suppose that one of water at its boiling point is kept in a cylinder that has frictionless piston. For equilibrium to be established, a pressure is maintained above the piston. If the piston sweeps out a volume of 0 dm3. Calculate the work done by the system for the following paths: Free expansion Reversible expansion against constant pressure of 4.0 atm Isothermal reversible expansion with initial volume = 0.80 dm3. When 2.0 mol of CO2 is heated at a constant pressure of 1.25 atm, its temperature increases from 280.00 K to 307.00 K. The heat (q) absorbed during this process is determined to be 2.0 kJ. Calculate (a) ΔH for this process (b) The molar heat capacity of CO2 at constant pressure (CP,m) (Hint: you can assume that CP,m is constant over this temperature range and that the CO2behaves ideally). (c) ΔU. Heat capacity of a material is temperature dependent. The T-dependence of the molar heat capacities of water (H2O(l)), H2(g) and O2(g) can be…
Suppose we're interested in studying ligaments. In class, we have focused on Problem 1 work done by changes in volume, but our initial framework presented accommodates other forms of work as well. When a ligament is stretched, we may represent the work done on the system as follows: dw fdl - pdV || Here, fis the restoring force of the ligament that opposes stretching, and /is the length. The differential expression for the Gibb's free energy can be written as follows: dG = Vdp – SdT + fdl differential expression. dA. a) Write all Maxwell relations from the Gibb's free energy energy, b) Derive the differential expression for Helmholtz free
