Solved: CP BIO The Effect of Altitude on the Lungs. (a)
Chapter 18, Problem 18.53(choose chapter or problem)
CP BIO The Effect of Altitude on the Lungs. (a) Calculate the change in air pressure you will experience if you climb a 1000-m mountain, assuming that the temperature and air density do not change over this distance and that they were 22C and respectively, at the bottom of the mountain. (Note that the result of Example 18.4 doesnt apply, since the expression derived in that example accounts for the variation of air density with altitude and we are told to ignore that in this problem.) (b) If you took a 0.50-L breath at the foot of the mountain and managed to hold it until you reached the top, what would be the volume of this breath when you exhaled it there?
