Interpretation:
The figure which represents the new volume of a balloon filled at a pressure of
Concept Introduction:
Different laws have been put forward to introduce properties of gases:
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
Charles law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held
at constant pressure and number of molecules.

- A bicycle pump contains 0.682 liters of air at 99.3 kpa . If the handle is pressed down decreasing the volume of the inside air to 0.151 L, what is the pressure inside the pump ? Assume temperature is constantarrow_forwardUsing the normal arterial blood gas values (pH = 7.35-7.45; Paco2 = 35-45 mm Hg; HCO3- = 22-26 mEq/L), identify both the primary disturbance and the degree of compensation for these three arterial blood gas readings: (a) pH = 7.20 (b) pH = 7.20 (c) pH = 7.36 Paco2 = 35 mm Hg Paco2 = 25 mm Hg Paco2 = 20 mm Hg [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/Larrow_forwardCalculate the approximate PaO2 given the following conditions (assuming RQ=1): FiO2=.50 PB= 747 mmHg PaCO2= 45 mmHGarrow_forward
- An e cylinder of oxygen is one quarter full and running at 1.5 lpm. How long will the tank last if it is changed at 400 psi? (Assume the tank is full at 2200 psi)arrow_forwardA mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 754.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 and H2O produced by the mouse. The gas volume in this chamber is measured to be exactly 2.00 L, the temperature is held constant at 295 K. After two hours the pressure inside the bottle falls to 717.4 torr. What mass of oxygen has the mouse consumed?arrow_forwardWhat is the density of whole blood at STP? [A] 3.57 × 103 kg m-3 [B] 1.06 × 103 kg m-3 [C] 5.55 × 103 kg m-3 [D] 2arrow_forward
- If the volume is decreased from 1 liter to 1/4 liter, how would the pressure change?arrow_forwardUsing the following equalities and the relationships between atm and torr or mmHg you are required to know, convert 536 mmHg to Pa. Report your answer with the correct number of significant figures. Do not use scientific notation. 1.00 atm (exact) = 29.92 inHg = 101325 Pa = 101.325 kPa = 14.7 psi Paarrow_forwardA sample of oxygen gas initially at 357 K was heated to 411 K. If the volume of the oxygen gas sample at 411 K is 621.6 mL, what was its volume at 357 K? V = mLarrow_forward
- Give the equation to calculate high-risk respirable fraction (HRPM)?arrow_forwardA balloon occupies a volume of 1.25 L at sea level where the ambient pressure is 1 atm. What volume would the balloon occupy at an altitude of 10,700 m, where the air pressure is only 220 mmHg?arrow_forwardThe atmospheric pressure on the top of Mt. Everest, an altitude of 29,035 ft, is only 259.9 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs at this altitude (assuming that the % O2 is the same as in dry air, 20.88%)? Report the pressure to the tenths of a mm Hg without units.arrow_forward
