The physical fitness of athletes is measured by “VO2 max,”which is the maximum volume of oxygen consumed by anindividual during incremental exercise (for example, on atreadmill). An average male has a VO2 max of 45 mL O2>kgbody mass/min, but a world-class male athlete can have a VO2max reading of 88.0 mL O2>kg body mass/min. (a) Calculatethe volume of oxygen, in mL, consumed in 1 hr by an averageman who weighs 185 lbs and has a VO2 max reading of 47.5mL O2>kg body mass/min. (b) If this man lost 20 lb, exercised,and increased his VO2 max to 65.0 mL O2>kg body mass/min,how many mL of oxygen would he consume in 1 hr?
Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)

- You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL.
