The Ideal-Gas Equation (Section)
In an experiment reported in the scientific literature, male cockroaches were made to run at different speeds on a miniature treadmill while their oxygen consumption was measured. In 1 hr the average cockroach running at 0.08 km>hr consumed 0.8 mL of O2 at 1 atm pressure and 24 °C per gram of insect mass. (a) How many moles of O2 would be consumed in 1 hr by a 5.2-g cockroach moving at this speed? (b) This same cockroach is caught by a child and placed in a 1-qt fruit jar with a tight lid. Assuming the same level of continuous activity as in the research, will the cockroach consume more than 20% of the available O2 in a 48-hr period? (Air is 21 mol % O2.)
