In the lungs, a thin respiratory membrane separates tiny sacs of air from the blood in the capillaries at atmospheric pressure. These sacs are called alveoli (spherical shape), and it is from them that oxygen enters the blood. The diameter of the alveoli is 0.25 mm, and the air inside contains 14% oxygen. If the air behaves as an ideal gas at body temperature of 37 °C, find the number of oxygen molecules in one of the sacs?
Let us consider a bacterial cell that depends on chemical reactions using oxygen to produce energy. The cell needs to obtain molecular oxygen from the extra-cellular medium by diffusion through the cell membrane. We model the cell as a water-filled sphere of radius 1 µm. This means that we neglect the presence of the internal structures of the cell: nucleus, nutrients, etc. The oxygen diffusion coefficient (O2) in water at 25°C is 1.0x10-5 cm².s'. Figure 1: Transmission electron microscope Reminder: The distance travelled by diffusion can be picture of a bacterium. [from Wikipedia: written as L(t) = V6Dt, where D is the diffusion coefficient and t the diffusion time. "Transmission Electron Microscopy"| 2.

A weather balloon contains 12.0 m³ of hydrogen gas when the balloon is released from a location at which the temperature is 30.0°C and the pressure is 80.0 kPa. The balloon rises to a location where the temperature is -10.0°C and the pressure is 20.0 kPa. If the balloon is free to expand so that the pressure of the gas inside is equal to the ambient pressure, what is the new volume of the balloon? Assume that in both cases the hydrogen gas is in thermal equilibrium with the outside air. O 14.0 m³ 4.16 m³ 16.0 m³ 41.7 m³ 2.38 m³
The partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs is about 150 mm of Hg. (The partial pressure is the pressure of the oxygen alone, if all other gases were removed.) This corresponds to a concentration of 5.3 × 1024 molecules per m3. In the oxygen-depleted blood entering the pulmonary capillaries, the concentration is 1.4 × 1024 molecules per m3. The blood is separated from air in the alveoli of the lungs by a 1-μm-thick membrane. What is the rate of transfer of oxygen to the blood through the 5 × 10-9 m2 surface area of one alveolus? Give your answer in both molecules/s and μmol/s. Assume The diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2 × 10-11 m2/s. What is the same rate of transfer in μmol/s.
