Air entering the lungs ends up in tiny sacs called alveoli.From the alveoli, the oxygen diffuses into the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.0050 cm and the air inside contains 14 per cent oxygen. Assuming that the pressure in the alveoli is 1.0 atm and the temperature is `37^(@)C`, calculate the number of oxygen molecules in one of the alveoli.

A

`6xx10^(13)`

B

`10^(24)`

C

`1.7xx10^(22)`

D

`1.7xx10^(12)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
(d) Volume of alveoli = `=(4)/(3)piR^(3)`
`=(4)/(3)xx3.14xx(5xx10^(-3))^(3)mL`
`=5.23xx10^(-7)mL=5.23xx10^(-10)L`
`n_(2)=(14)/(100)xxn_(air)=0.14xx(PV)/(RT)`
`0.14xx1xx(5.23xx10^(-10))/(0.0821xx310)`
`=2.87xx10^(-12)`
Molecules `= 2.87xx6.02xx10^(23)xx10^(-12)`
`=1.7xx10^(12)`

The circulation of blood in the human body supplied oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide is variable but on an average 100 ml of blood contains 0.02 g of oxygen and 0.08 g of carbon dioxide. Calculate the volume of oxygen and carbon dioxide at 1 atm and body temperature (37^(@)C) assuming that there are 10 litres of blood in the human body.
