Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The situation that is patient is agitated, hyperventilating and breathing very rapidly but the partial pressure of oxygen is normal, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 22 mmHg is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
When a particular gas from the mixture of gas exert pressure and occupied the same volume itself which was occupied by the mixture of gases, then it is known as partial pressure caused by that particular gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
The situation that is patient with chronic lung disease has the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide is 60mmHg and 60mmHg respectively is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
When a particular gas from the mixture of gas exert pressure and occupied the same volume itself which was occupied by the mixture of gases then it is known as partial pressure caused by that particular gas.

- 5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forwardHow many liters of HCI gas, measured at 30.0 C and 745 torr, are required to prepare 1.25 L of a 3.20-M solution of hydrochloric acid?arrow_forwardExplain how the volume of the bubbles exhausted by a scuba diver (Figure 9.16) change as they rise to the surface, assuming that they remain intact.arrow_forward
- 5-89 (Chemical Connections 5C) In a sphygmomanometer one listens to the first tapping sound as the constrictive pressure of the arm cuff is slowly released. What is the significance of this tapping sound?arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
