Chapter 2.9, Problem 2.12YT
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is released in the air when copper ore is smelted to make copper metal. Let’s assume that a woman living downwind of a smelter inhaled 44 μg of SO2 in an hour.
- a. If she inhaled 625 liters (0.625 m3) of air per hour, would she exceed the 1-hr average for the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards for SO2? Support your answer with a calculation.
- b. If she were exposed at this rate for three hours, would she exceed the 3-hr average?

2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec.
* Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.

In an adult human, fully expanded lungs have a total lung capacity
(TLC) of about 6 L. Some air remains after complete exhalation, and
this volume is the functional residual capacity (FRC).
A specific person has a known functional residual lung capacity (FRC)
of 2.53 L and a total lung capacity (TLC) of 5.06 L. This person is in a
room with an atmospheric pressure of 758.2 mmHg. Their internal
temperature is 37.20 °C. How many moles of gas are exhaled with
each breath?
