After emptying her lungs, a person inhales 4.6 L of air at 3degrees C and holds her breath.
How much does the volume of the air increase as it warms to herbody temperature of 37 deg C?

Oxygen in the Lungs: In the lungs, the respiratorymembraneseparates tiny sacs of air (pressure1.00x105Pa) from theblood in the capillaries. These sacs are called alveoli. Theaverage radius of thealveoli is 0.125 mm, and the air insidecontains 14% oxygen. Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gasat 310 K, find thenumber of oxygen molecules in one of thesesacs.
