Air entering the lungs ends up in tiny sacs called alveoli. It is from the alveoli that oxygen diffuses into the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is $0.0050 \ cm$ and the air inside contains $14$ per cent oxygen. Assuming that the pressure in the alveoli is $1.0 \ atm$ and the temperature is $37 \ ^oC$,calculate the number of oxygen molecules in one of the alveoli.

  • A
    $6 \times 10^{13}$
  • B
    $10^{24}$
  • C
    $1.7 \times 10^{22}$
  • D
    $1.7 \times 10^{12}$
