Question:
A normal breath is about 1 L in volume. Assume you take a breath at sea level, where the pressure is 760 mmHg. Then you instantly (this is a thought experiment, after all) go to Los Alamos, New Mexico, located in the mountains where the normal atmospheric pressure is 590 mmHg, and you exhale. Assuming ideal gas behavior, what's the change in entropy of the air? Assume a temperature of 37°C.
