Chapter 3: Problem 37
Suppose the inhaled air has partial pressure of water vapour of \(5 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\) and exhaled air is nearly saturated at body temperature \((310 \mathrm{~K})\) with water vapour. The mass of water lost per day by a person assuming that the normal man breaths 10,000 litre per day. Saturated vapour pressure of water at \(310 \mathrm{~K}\) is \(45 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\) (a) \(20.68 \mathrm{~g}\) (b) \(372.23 \mathrm{~g}\) (c) \(418.76 \mathrm{~g}\) (d) \(46.53 \mathrm{~g}\)
