A laboratory glass bottle utilized in laboratory studies of hypoxia contains gas of the subsequent composition expressed as vol%: O2, 18.0%, N2, 80.0%; CO2 2.0%.
a) Compute the partial pressure of each of the gas components. Assume atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg)
b) Presume 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. Explain how many moles of gas are in the bottle? Explain 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 as well as 22C, is 1.5L. Explain what volume would this gas occupy at STP? Explain what volume would it occupy at BTP?
