1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
People who are angry sometimes say that the feel as if they will explode. If a calm person with a lung capacity of 3.5L and a body temp of 36C gets angry, what will the volume of the persons lungs be if their temp rises to 39C.
2. Relevant equations
V1/T1 = v2/T2
3. The attempt at a solution
I did it like this:
Declared variables; v1=3.5L, v2 = *?*, T1 = 36C, T2=39C
put them into the formula; 39(3.5) = 36(V2)
and ended up getting 3.79L instead of the correct answer which is 3.53L.
Obviously I have zero idea of what I am doing if I get an answer wrong. Only answer if you understand what you're talking about. Thanks.
