Inhaling Compressed Air

what’s the pressure of air inthe lungs if the gas expands to 150.0mL at a body temperature of 37 degree celsiu

a scuba diver 40 ft. below the ocean surface inhale 50.0mL of compressed air in a scuba tank at a pressure of 3.00 atm & a temperature of 8 degrees celsius. what is the pressure of the lungs if the gas expands to 150.0 mL at a temperature of 37 degrees celsius?

This is just a standard gas law problem.

PV = nRT and n, number of moles of gas, does not change.

So P1V1/T1 = nR = P2V2/T2

Remember to use degrees Kelvin for T

Is It A Good Idea To Microwave An Inhaler?
