A boy with pneumonia has lungs with a volume of 1.7 L that fill with 0.070 mol of air when he inhales. When he exhales, his lung volume decreases to 1.3 L. Enter the number of moles of gas that remain in his lungs after he exhales. Assume constant temperature and pressure.

Answer:

0.053moles

Explanation:

Hello,

To calculate the number of moles of gas remaining in his after he exhale, we'll have to use Avogadro's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its number of moles provided that temperature and pressure are kept constant. Mathematically,

V = kN, k = V / N

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2= V3 / N3 = Vx / Nx

V1 = 1.7L

N1 = 0.070mol

V2 = 1.3L

N2 = ?

From the above equation,

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2

Make N2 the subject of formula

N2 = (N1 × V2) / V1

N2 = (0.07 × 1.3) / 1.7

N2 = 0.053mol

The number of moles of gas in his lungs when he exhale is 0.053 moles
