Explain what is the mass of co2 exhaled with one breath


The molar mass of the general anesthetic methoxyflurane is 164.97 g mole-1. Suppose that this compound be can relied on to cause anesthesia when it is present in mixture with breathing air at 0.456 mmHg. This pressure is called the MAC. An anesthetized patient patient had a respiratory rate of 8 breaths min-1. The tidal volume of the patient was 0.47 L per breath. The patient breaths the mixture at 37oC. Answer the following questions about an operation involving this patient. • The temperature of the patient is _____oK. • The pressure of the anesthetic (methoxyflurane) in the breathing mixture is ______ atm. • If the operation takes 3 hr., how many g of the anesthetic will be reuired? • How long an operation (minutes) can be supported by 35 g of methoxyflurane? • Carbon dioxide is about 4.4% of the air we exhale. a. If we exhale about 0.5 L of air with each breath, what is the mass of CO2 exhaled with one breath? Assume T = 37oC. b. Glucose (180.16 g mole-1) is oxidized to CO2 according to the equation C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ? 6CO2 + 6H2O. What mass of glucose is oxidized per breath exhaled?
