A laboratory glass bottle used in laboratory studies of hypoxia contains gas of the following composition, expressed as vol%: O2, 18.0%, N2, 80.0%; CO2 2.0%.
a.) Calculate the partial pressure of each of the gas components. Assume atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg)
b.) Assume that the gas is bottles in a 2.0L rigid vessel. The temperature in the lab is 23C. The gauge on the gas bottle reads 1500psig. How many moles of gas are in the bottle? How many moles of each component are in the gas?
c.) In the pulmonary functions lab, a patient exhales a quantity of gas. The technician reports that the volume of gas, measured at 752 mmHg and 22C, is 1.5L. What volume would this gas occupy at STP? What volume would it occupy at BTP?
