Typically, when a person coughs, he or she first inhales about 2.50 L of air at 1.00 atm and 25 ∘C. The epiglottis and the vocal cords then shut, trapping the air in the lungs, where it is warmed to 37 ∘C and compressed to a volume of about 1.70 L by the action of the diaphragm and chest muscles. The sudden opening of the epiglottis and vocal cords releases this air explosively. Just prior to this release, what is the approximate pressure of the gas inside the lungs?

Calculate the density of air in kg / m3 at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) conditions (0 deg celcius and 1 atm), assuming the composition of the atmosphere as 79% nitrogen (N2) and 21 percent oxygen (02) by volume.
Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.03 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 140-L tank at −45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?

On a summer day, you take a road trip through Death Valley, California, in an antique car. You start out at a temperature of 21°C, but the temperature in Death Valley will reach a peak of 51°C. The tires on your car hold 15.6 L of nitrogen gas at a starting pressure of 249 kPa. The tires will burst when the internal pressure (Pb) reaches 269 kPa. Answer the following questions and show your work. How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire? What will the tire pressure be at peak temperature in Death Valley? Will the tires burst in Death Valley? Explain. If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)

The ideal gas law describes the relationship among the volume of an ideal gas (V), its pressure (P), its absolute temperature (T), and number of moles ( n): PV = nRT Under standard conditions, the ideal gas law does a good job of approximating these properties for any gas. However, the ideal gas law does not account for all the properties of real gases such as intermolecular attraction and molecular volume, which become more pronounced at low temperatures and high pressures. The van der Waals equation corrects for these factors with the constants a and b, which are unique to each substance: (P+ ²) (V-nb) = nRT an² The gas constant R is equal to 0.08206 L.atm/(K-mol).
