Question

The circulation of blood in human body supplies O2 and releases CO2. The concentration of O2 and CO2 is variable but on the average, 100 mL blood contains 0.02 g of O2 and 0.08 g CO2. The volume of O2 and CO2 at 1 atm and body temperature 37oC, assuming 10 litre blood in human body is:

Solution

The correct option is C 1.59 litre, 4.62 litre
According to given data,
100 mL blood has 0.02 g O2 and 0.08 gCO2
10,000 mL (10L) blood has 2gO2 and 8gCO2
Using ideal gas equation
PV=nRT,
For O2:1×V=232×0.0821×310
VO2=1.59litre
For CO2:1×V=844×0.0821×310
VCO2=4.62litre
