Treat CO2 as an ideal gas and compute q, w, DH, and DU for its inhalation at a constant 1 bar pressure. The temperature outside the body is 15 °C and body temperature is 37 °C. Assume that the volume of air after inhalation (in the lungs) is 500 cm3 and that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 383 ppm (parts per million).
