Concept Introduction:
Charles’s Law tells that the relationship between temperature and volume of a gas. The law states that at constant pressure the volume of a fixed amount of gas (the number of moles) is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin units. The mathematical expression for the relationship between volume and Kelvin temperature according to the Charles’s law can be shown as follows,
Where,
Combined gas law tells that the Kelvin temperature of gas is directly proportional to the pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas. The mathematical expression for combined gas law can be represented as follows,

- What are some advantages of gas exchange in air over gas exchange in water?arrow_forwardA sample of nitrogen gas occupies a volume of 2.00 L at 756 mm Hg and 0.00° C. Thevolume increases by 2.00 L and the temperature decreases to 137 K.

- A man with normal lungs and an arterial PCO2 of 40 mmHg takes an overdose of barbiturate that halves his alveolar ventilation but does not change his carbon dioxide output. If his respiratory exchange ratio is 0.8, what will be his arterial PO2 (in mmHg), approximately?arrow_forwardHelium gas is maintained at a partial pressure in alveolar gas of PHe,alv= 10 mmHg. Blood flow through the lungs is 5 L/min, the permeability surface area of the alveolar blood-gas barrier is PHe,M S= 100 mL/s, and Bunsen solubility coefficients for He in blood and barrier are a*He,blood= 0.008 mL He/(mL blood* atm) and a*He,M= 0.08 mL He/(ml blood* atm), respectively. Helium is not present in the inlet blood. Find the He flow across the microvascular barrier of the lung. Compare this with the maximum helium exchange for very high flow rates (diffusion limited). Compare the result in part (a) with the He flow when the permeability is very high (flow- limited).arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of releasing the pressure at 2-3 mmHg/sec? Why not much faster or slower?arrow_forward
