Question

Be sure to answer all parts Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas because it binds very strongly to the oxygen carrier hemoglobin in blood. A concentration of S.00 x 102 ppm by volume of carbon monoxide is considered lethal to humans. Calculate the volume in liters occupied by carbon monoxide in a room that measures 15.49 m long, 11.71 m wide, and 11.95 m high at this concentration. Volume of CO in the room: Enter your answer in scientific notation. Prolonged exposure to mercury (Hg) vapor can cause neurological disorders and respiratory problems. For safe air quality, the concentration of mercury vapor must be under 0.050 mg/m. Convert this number to g/L.. Concentration of Hg: 10L Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Explanation / Answer

volume of the room = l*b*h

                   = 15.49*11.71*11.95

                   = 2167.6 m^3
   1 m^3 = 10^3 L

        = 2167.6*10^3 L

volume occupied by co2 in the room = 2.167*10^6 L

mercury vapor(Hg-vapor) = 0.05 mg/m^3

1 mg = 10^-3 g

1 m^3 = 10^3 L

so that,

mercury vapor(Hg-vapor) = 0.05*10^-3/10^3

                           = 5.0*10^-5 g/L
