Chapter 17, Problem 82GP
A scuba tank when fully charged has a pressure of 180 atm at 20°C. The volume of the tank is 11.3 L. (a) What would the volume of the air be at 1.00 atm and at the same temperature? (b) Before entering the water, a person consumes 2.0 L of air in each breath, and breathes 12 times a minute. At this rate, how long would the tank last? (c) At a depth of 20.0 m in sea water at a temperature of 10°C, how long would the same tank last assuming the breathing rate does not change?

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?
