After emptying her lungs, a person inhales 4.1 liter of air at 0.0 degrees Celsius and holds her breath. How much does the volume of the air increase as it warms to her body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius?
Solution
use the below equation to find the volume.
V1/T1= V2/T 2
4.1L / 273.15 = V2 / 310
V2 = 4.65L
Therefore, the increase in voulme is,
dV = 4.65 L - 4.1 L = 0.55 L
