a) Oxygen is absorbed from the lungs into red blood cells where it is bound to hemoglobin and transported throughout the body. The concentration of oxygen in blood is approximately 100 mM. Now imagine that the blood is replaced by pure water. Given that the total pressure within the lungs is approximately 1 bar, and that the oxygen in the atmosphere equilibrates with this new "blood", what would be the concentration of oxygen in "blood"? Show all work. b) Imagine the Mars rover actually finds liquid water on the surface of Mars. The rover analyzes the water and finds that the water contains a 0.002M concentration of dissolved oxygen gas. What is the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the Martian atmosphere?

A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of air at 20°C with an initial volume of V1=0.1 m3, as shown in Fig. Q7. Initially, the piston rests on some stops, but it is possible for it to move within the cylinder without friction. To lift the piston and start such motion, an air pressure of 1400 kPa is required. Now, heat is transferred to the system so that the temperature of the air reaches to a final value of 300°C. Fig. Q7 A. Which statement is true? The air can lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C The air cannot lift the piston before the temperature reaches to 300°C

The general principles of operation of an internal combustion reaction are well known: the combustion of fuel drives out a piston. It is possible to imagine engines that use reactions other than combustions, and it is then appropriate to assess the work they can do. A chemical reaction takes place in a container of cross-sectional area 100 cm2 ; the container has a piston at one end. As a result of the reaction, the piston is pushed out through 10.0 cm against a constant external pressure of 100 kPa. Calculate the work done by the system.
Consider one mole of a simple ideal gas enclosed in a cylindrical piston with rigid impermeable adiabatic walls. The piston has a cross sectional area ofA = 0.10 m^2 and the cylinder enclosing the gas has a height of h = 1.0 cm. The gas inside the piston has a temperature T = 300.K. Recall that the internal energy for an ideal gas is U= n cV,mT, where cV,m= 1.5 R is the molar heat capacity for the ideal gas. mass m = 15.3E3kg is placed on the top of the piston, but that the piston top remains rigid. The external pressure applied is 1.5E6 Pa. The equilubrium volume for the gas is 1.6E-3 m^3. Suppose that the piston is now allowed to move within the cylinder, but that the walls remain adiabatic and impermeable so that no heat flows into the gas. The gas system will ultimately move to a new equilibrium state. We will now characterize the final equilibrium state and the changes resulting from the process. Define the (Total System) = (the gas enclosed in the cylinder) plus (the mass placed…
To properly determine the internal energy of combustion methylhydrazine, the calorimeter was first calibrated. A 0.4500 g sample of sucrose (MW 342.296 g/mol)) was ignited under identical conditions and produced a temperature rise of 1.98 K. For sucrose, the internal energy combustion at constant volume, ∆U, is known to be –5616.64 kJ/mol. Calculate the calorimeter constant, in kJ/K.
