An adult human lung has a volume of 2.9 liters. if its volume decreases to 1.2 liters and it contains 0.049 mole of air after it exhales, how many moles of air does it contain when full?

In full volume it contain 0.12 moles.

Explanation:

Given data:

Total volume= Vt = 2.9 L

Decreased volume= Vd = 1.2 L

Number of moles of air present in decreased volume= n = 0.049 mol

Number of moles of air in total volume= n = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Vt/ Vd = n (in total volume) /n ( decreased volume)

2.9 L / 1.2 L = X / 0.049 mol

2.42 = X / 0.049 mol

X = 2.42 × 0.049

X = 0.12 mol
