(choose chapter or problem)

A person inhales air richer in O2 and exhales air richer in CO2 and water vapor. During each hour of sleep, a person exhales a total of about 300 L of this CO2-enriched and H2Oenriched air. (a) If the partial pressures of CO2 and H2O in exhaled air are each 30.0 torr at 37.0_C, calculate the masses of CO2 and of H2O exhaled in 1 h of sleep. (b) How many grams of body mass does the person lose in an 8-h sleep if all the CO2 and H2O exhaled come from the metabolism of glucose?
