Consider the lung capacity to be `500 cm_(3)` and the pressure to ve equivalent of 761mm of HG, estimate the number of molecules per breath.

Answer» From ideal gas equation,
`PV=NkappaT`
Normal body temperature is `98.6^(0)F=37^(0)C=310K.`
`N=(PV)/(kT)`
`=((101.46)(500xx10^(-6)))/((1.3807xx10^(-23)xx310))`
`=1.19xx10^(19)`molecules
