(1) Find the volume
of O2 actually absorbed into the aveoli of the lung per breath.
Hint: Assume that oxygen
compositions in inhaled and exhaled breaths are approximately 20 % and
15 %, respectively. Namely, only a quarter of O2 inhales
are actually consumed. You may also assume that temperature of the air
is 25 oC.
(2) Find the total volume of O2 absorbed in a day.
(3) Convert the volume to
mass in lbs.
Hint: a. Find mole of
O2 from the volume
b. Convert the mole to mass (in g), then to lbs.
