Question

What is the final pressure of air, in atmospheres, in the lungs when the gas expands to 150.0 mL

at a body temperature of 37 ∘C
, if the amount of gas does not change?
Express your answer in atmospheres to three significant figures.

Answer 1

Approximately 2.40 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the values and solve for P1: P1 = 2.90 atm * (256.15 K / 310.15 K) P1 = 2.90 atm * 0.826 P1 ≈ 2.40 atm So, the pressure of the air in the lungs when the gas expands to 150.0 mL at a body temperature of 37°C is approximately 2.40 atm.
