The circulation of blood in the human body supplies O2 and releases CO2 . The concentration of O2 and CO2 is variable but on the average, 100 mL blood contains 0.32 g of O2 and 0.88 g CO2 . The volume of O2 and CO2 at 1 atm and body temperature 37OC , assuming 10 litre blood in human body is:
A.2.545L,2.545L
B.5.09L,2.545L
C.2.545L,5.09L
D.2.545L,7.635L
Solution
In the given question firstly we have to define the conditions for the given cases. The two gases talked about are O2 and CO2 . Now we just have to use the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT simply to get the volume of both the gases by putting the other values that are given in the problem.
Complete step by step answer:
First we have to sort out every detail of the given problem statement :
i.The two gases talked about are : O2 and CO2
ii.The amount of the O2 in the 100 mL blood : 0.32 g
iii.The amount of the CO2 in the 100 mL blood : 0.88 g
iv.Now let suppose the volume of the O2 and CO2 at 1 atm and body temperature 37oC , assuming 10 litre blood is x and y .
To get the answer we firstly have to transfer the quantity of litre into the millilitres :
The amount of litres are : 10
So the amount in the milliliters would be :
=10×1000ml =10000ml
Now we have to use the universal gas equation / ideal gas equation :
PV=nRT
So we have to use that for both the cases:
Case 1: Here the pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 310K , now we have to use and find the volume :
Case 2: Here the pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 310K , now we have to use and find the volume :
PV=nRT 1×V=448.8×0.0821×310 V=5.09litreTherefore the correct option would be option C, 2.545L,5.09L .
Note:
The ideal gas law, also called the general gas equation, is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. It was first stated by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron in 1834 .
