QUESTION:

(a) Referring to Problem 1.69, calculate the total volume (in liters) of air an adult breathes in a day. (b) In a city with heavy traffic, the air contains \(2.1\times10^{-6}\mathrm{\ L}\) of carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) per liter. Calculate the average daily intake of carbon monoxide in liters by a person.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

(a) Here we have to calculate the total volume (in liters) of air an adult breathes in a day

In this question it has been given that

Given:

Oxygen required = 240 mL of oxygen/min

Number of breathing in a minute = 12 times

Oxygen presence in inhaled (volume) = 20%

Oxygen presence in exhaled air = 16 %

Volume of inhaled air/min = 6000 mL

In order to find out the total volume in liters, we have to use the following conversion factors.
