Interpretation:
The amount of moles
Concept Introduction:
The Mole and
•For convenience in considering reactions and calculating quantities, chemists think in terms of moles of substances.
•A mole is a quantity of particles defined as Avogadro’s number of particles or formula units of elements or compounds.
•The molecular or formula weight of a compound is the sum of the mass of all atoms in the formula.
•A mole also happens to be 22.4 L of an ideal gas under standard conditions, so 22.4 L of ideal gas represent one gram formula weight of the compound.

- Which of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas. Overview of the experiment:arrow_forwardAn adult takes about 12 breaths per minute, inhaling roughly 500 mL of air with each breath. The molar compositions of the inspired and expired gases are as follows: Species Inspired Gas (%) Expired Gas (%)O2 20.6 15.1CO2 0.0 3.7N2 77.4 75.0H2O 2.0 6.2The inspired gas is at 24°C and 1 atm, and the expired gas is at body temperature and pressure (37°C and 1 atm). Nitrogen is not transported into or out of the blood in the lungs. All nitrogen inhaled is exhaled. 1. Calculate the masses of O2, CO2, and H2O transferred from the pulmonary gases to the blood or vice versa (specify which) per minute. 2. Calculate the volume of air exhaled per milliliter inhaled. 3.
