fundamental physiochemical behaviour of gasses Flashcards
1
Q
respiration definition
A
series of exchanges leading to uptake of oxygen by cells
release of carbon dioxide to the lungs
2
Q
what must happen with gasses for normal function to occur
A
they must move or “exchange” from environment to cells for normal function to occur
3
Q
what controls exchange of gasses
A
gas laws
4
Q
gas law formula
A
PV=nRT
P=Pressure of the gas
V=Volume of the gas container
n=Number of moles of gas
R=Gas Constant
T=Temp of gas in container
5
Q
how do you quantify and predict the physiochemical properties of gasses
A
the ideal gas law
6
Q
what is R
A
gas constant
proportionality constant
depends on the gas
7
Q
what is 0degrees celsius in kelvin
A
273K
ALWAYS convert to K
