Problem 15.64: The effect of altitude on the lungs.
Part A
Calculate the change in air pressure you will experience if you climb a 1250 m mountain, assuming that the temperature and air density do not change over this distance and that they were 22.0 ∘C and 1.20 kg/m3respectively, at the bottom of the mountain. Pa
Part B
If you took a 0.500 L breath at the foot of the mountain and managed to hold it until you reached the top, what would be the volume of this breath when you exhaled it there? L
The constant R of the air is R = 287 J/kg*K.
R = Rg/M with Rg = gas constant 8.314 J/mole*K end M = molecular
mass of the air 28.968 g/mole.
The equation of the ideal gas is P*v = R*T.
v is specific volume and the density ρ = 1/v
P/ρ = R*T.
ρ = 1.2 kg/m³
T = 22 C° = 295,15 K.
R = 287 J/kg*K
=> P1 = ρ*R*T = 1.2*295.15*287 = 101649.66 Pa (Pascal).
If the density (ore specific volume) and the temperature don't
change the pressure change only for the altitude. The Stevino law P
= ρ*g*h says that the air column over the ground is
h = P/ρ*g = 101649.66/(9,81*1,2) = 8634.86 m
P2 = ρ*g*(8634.8 - 1250) = 86845.248 Pa.
=101649.66-86845.248 =14803.752 Pa
B)
Is the Boyle law: P*V = cost.
=> P1*V1 = P2*V2
=> 101649,66*V1 = 86845.248*V2
=> V2 = 1.17 V1 with V1 = 0.500L
=0.585L

Learning Goal: Develop problem-solving skills wing chemical equilibria and oplying Le Chatter's principle Solving problems with chemical equilibrium If you know the basic principles of chemical equilibrium, you can analyze and predict reversible reactions. To analyze any reversible reaction, follow these problem-solving steps: 1. Identify the reactants and products for the given chemical reaction. 2. Draw a diagram of the reaction to better understand what is happening 3. Identify how increasing or decreasing a product or reactant stresses the equilibrium...
