problem 6, page 244

6. Suppose you inhale 1.0 L of air at -300C (-220F) and hold this air long enough to warm it to body temperaure, 370C. What is the new volume of air in your lungs, assuming constant pressure?

V1=1.0 L, T1=-300C, T2=370C, so V1/V2=T1/T2 and

V2 = V1(T2/T1) or V2 = 1.0 L (310K/243K)

= 1.0 L (1.28)

= 1.3 L
