Question

Using the set of data that follows, calculate how many of the
molecules of O2 that were used in aerobic catabolism by Julius
Caesar are in each liter of atmospheric air today. All values
given are expressed at Standard Conditions of Temperature and
Pressure (see Appendix C) and therefore can be legitimately
compared. Average rate of O2 consumption of a human male
during ordinary daily activities: 25 L/h. Number of years after
his birth when Caesar was mortally stabbed near the Roman
Forum: 56 years. Number of liters of O2 per mole: 22.4 L/mol.
Number of moles of O2 in Earth’s atmosphere: 3.7 × 1019 mol.
Number of molecules per mole: 6 × 1023 molecules/mol. Amount
of O2 per liter of air at sea level (20°C): 195 mL/L. Be prepared to
be surprised! Of course, criticize the calculations if you feel they
deserve criticism.
