Answer:
The number of liters) the boy exhales is 0.499744 liters
Explanation:
The given parameters of how the boy breathes;
The number of moles of gas the boy exhales, n = 0.02231 moles
The condition in which the boy exhales the gas = STP = Standard Temperature and Pressure
The molar volume of a gas at STP, [tex]V_m[/tex] = 22.4 L per mole
Therefore, the volume of gas the boy exhales, 'V', is give as follows;
V = n × [tex]V_m[/tex]
By substituting the known values, we have;
V = 0.02231 moles × 22.4 L/mole = 0.499744 L
The volume of gas (the number of liters) the boy exhales, V = 0.499744 L.
