Chapter 1, Problem 1Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of air in liters that might inhale while sleeping for 7.5 hours has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Volume is the amount of space occupied by the matter.

The unit of volume is expressed in milliliters (mL), centimeter cubed (cm3).

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Assume each breath has a volume of about 0.5L and breathing about 10 times per minute.

The volume of air in liters can be calculated as:

  0.5L1breath×10breath1min×60min1hr×7.5hr=2250L

The volume of air in liters that might inhale while sleeping for 7.5 hours is 2250L.

Therefore, breathing is exposed to a large volume of air.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Five things that improve the quality of air have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Quality of air refers to a condition in which air in the surrounding. Good air quality refers to the condition of air with less pollution, clear air and free from smog.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Quality of air refers to a condition in which air in the surrounding. Good air quality refers to the condition of air with less pollution, clear air and free from smog.

Five things that improve the quality of air is,

  • • Burning of wood, vegetation, fuels etc should be reduced.
  • • Low emission paints which pollute less have to be used.
  • • Vehicles with good silencer have to be used.
  • • Residential areas can improve the air quality by regular cleaning of carpets etc.
  • • Proper treatment before the emission of gases from the industries.

While in Europe, if you drive 101 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal ?  Assume that 1euro=1.26dollars.
If a car is traveling at 43.0 miles per hour, contains 3 gallons of gas, and gets 22.5 miles per gallon, can it travel to a station 114.9 km away? If so how many hours will it take? How much gas (if any) is left upon arrival? If not, how far will it go before it runs out of gas? How much more gas would it need to reach the destination?
The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895.  Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities.  Their experimentally determined densities are:        Oxygen                1.42952 g/L Nitrogen              1.25718 g/L Air                          1.29327 g/L 1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas.   He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.  What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
