Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The situation that is patient is agitated, hyperventilating and breathing very rapidly but the partial pressure of oxygen is normal, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 22 mmHg is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
When a particular gas from the mixture of gas exert pressure and occupied the same volume itself which was occupied by the mixture of gases, then it is known as partial pressure caused by that particular gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
The situation that is patient with chronic lung disease has the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide is 60mmHg and 60mmHg respectively is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
When a particular gas from the mixture of gas exert pressure and occupied the same volume itself which was occupied by the mixture of gases then it is known as partial pressure caused by that particular gas.

- 5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward5-114 Carbon dioxide gas, saturated with water vapor, can be produced by the addition of aqueous acid to calcium carbonate based on the following balanced net ionic equation: (a) How many moles of wet CO (g), collected at 60.°C and 774 torr total pressure, are produced by the complete reaction of 10.0 g of CaCO3 with excess acid? (b) What volume does this wet CO2 occupy? (c) What volume would the CO2 occupy at 774 torr if a desiccant (a chemical drying agent) were added to remove the water? The vapor pressure of water at 60.°C is 149.4 mm Hg.arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
- A person exhales about 5.8 102 L of carbon dioxide per day (at STP). The carbon dioxide exhaled by an astronaut is absorbed from the air of a space capsule by reaction with lithium hydroxide, LiOH. 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) How many grams of lithium hydroxide are required per astronaut per day?arrow_forwardIndicate which represents the higher pressure in each of the following pairs: (a) 534 mm Hg or 0.754 bar (b) 534 mm Hg or 650 kPa (c) 1.34 bar or 934 kPaarrow_forward59 During a collision, automobile air bags are inflated by the N2 gas formed by the explosive decomposition of sodium azide, NaN3: 2NaN32Na+3N2 What mass of sodium azide would be needed to inflate a 30.0-L bag to a pressure of 1.40 atm at 25 C?arrow_forward
- A 21.4-mL volume of hydrochloric acid reacts completely with a solid sample of MgCO3. The reaction is 2HCl(aq)+MgCO3(s)CO2(g)+H2O(l)+MgCl2(aq) The volume of CO2 formed is 159 mL at 23C and 731 mmHg. What is the molarity of the HCl solution?arrow_forward93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)arrow_forward5-118 Isooctane, which has a chemical formula C8H18 is the component of gasoline from which the term octane rating derives. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of isooctane. (b) The density of isooctane is 0.792 g/mL. How many kg of C02 are produced each year by the annual U.S. gasoline consumption of L? (c) What is the volume in liters of this CO2 at STP? (d) The chemical formula for isooctane can be represented by (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2. Draw a Lewis structure of isooctane. (e) Another molecule with the same molecular formula is octane, which can be represented by: When comparing isooctane and octane, one structure is observed to have a boiling point of 99°C, while another is known to have a boiling point Of 125°C. Which substance, isooctane or octane, is expected to have the higher boiling point? (f) Determine whether isooctane or octane is expected to have the greater vapor pressure.arrow_forward
