How can the effects of changes in atmospheric pressure be reduced?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Mountaineers often take oxygen tanks when they climb high mountains such as Everest. The tanks contain oxygen gas that has been compressed into small volume. This can help reduce the effect of atmospheric pressure

Is liquid petroleum gas a gas or a liquid?
Under normal temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions propane is gaseous. However, when the temperature is reduced to below −42.09 °C or when it is stored under high pressure (approx 177 psi), it takes the form of a liquid.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on the boiling and freezing point?
As pressure decreases, the boiling point of water will also decrease. Backpackers camping in the high mountains are familiar with the phenomena when they get water boiling - and find that it is still only lukewarm because the atmospheric pressure at their high altitude is so low.
The volume of a gas is reduced when the temperature is decreased?
It depends on the amount of temperature reduced and also the atmospheric presure of the place of experiment.
What happens when volume changes?
Yes under constant pressure, with a given mass, volume changes during the change of state. When steam condenses, its volume is reduced. But, when water changes into ice, its volume becomes more. This is known to be anomalous expansion of water. Where as in other cases, when the liquid form gets changed into solid form, the volume is reduced.
What happens if humidity increase And does it affect breathing?
increase in humidity can only happen if the location is currounded by water like coastal regions or in case of heavy rainfalls ..if it rains regurlarly like in the amazon rain forests. No it doesn't affect breathing..you will sweat more ..if humidity increases. breathing is affected by reduced oxygen content or reduced atmospheric pressure.
Why Glycerin is distilled at reduced pressure?
glycerin is distilled at reduced pressure because it has boiling point of 290 degree celsius under atmospheric pressure it slightly decomposes but under reduced pressure it distills unchanged
What effect doe altitude and air pressure have on each other?
As you go higher, air (atmospheric) pressure gets reduced.
What happens to the pressure inside of a balloon as it floats higher and higher?
The atmospheric pressure go on falling. So the pressure in the balloon. It takes lot of height to get the pressure reduced. I mean, the reduction in the pressure can not be easily measured for short height.
How does air pressure help drinking through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. Because there is less air pressure of the straw is reduced. But the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid.
Why draft tubes are immersed in water?
to reduced the back flow of water because when water comes out from the runner the pressure is lower then the atmospheric pressure due to this back flow is generated.
Is liquid petroleum gas a gas or a liquid?
Under normal temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions propane is gaseous. However, when the temperature is reduced to below −42.09 °C or when it is stored under high pressure (approx 177 psi), it takes the form of a liquid.
Does water boil faster at sea level than on the top of a mountain?
Water boils faster on top of a mountain than at sea level because the boiling point of water is reduced with reduced atmospheric pressure.
The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?
Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state
Why does a soft drink rises when sucked with a straw?
As you suck on the straw air is removed from the inside of the straw and the air pressure within the straw is reduced. Once the straw's air pressure is reduced past atmospheric pressure of about 760 mmHg, the Patm forces the drink up the straw and into the sucker's mouth. Gases move from high to low pressure areas until equilibrium is reached.
Does reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a higher temperature?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
How can I have less PMS?
The effects of PMS can be reduced by dietary as well as lifestyle changes. B vitamins can also help reduce symptoms.
