What is the partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest if the atmospheric pressure on Mt Everest is one-third the atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It will be same as it is at sea level.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen tent consisting of 45 percent oxygen for an atmospheric pressure of 755mmHg?
what was the o2 p s i for cylendar
How would gas exchange be affected at the top of a tall mountain where air pressure is lower and there is less oxygen then lower elevations?
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, the partial pressure (partial oxygen) is lower. As partial pressure of oxygen goes down, the body's desire for oxygen goes up.

How can the effects of changes in atmospheric pressure be reduced?
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
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in blood gas a mixture of N2 O2 and CO2 if the partial pr. of Nitrogen 630 mm of Hg and partial pressure of CO2 is 39 mm of Hg?
If the total (=atmospheric) gas pressure is 760 mm Hg, then the remaining partial pressure of 760 - (630 + 39) = 91 mm of Hg is for the 3rd gas in blood: Oxygen (O2)
Is there as much oxygen in the air in Denver as there is in Boston?
In both places, 20% of the atmosphere is oxygen. However, in Denver the atmospheric pressure is lower, and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower, so less oxygen is available for respiration, and athletic performance there will be diminished.
How much oxegeon is on top of mount Everest?
The atmospheric pressure at the top of Mount Everest is about a third of sea level pressure or 0.333 standard atmospheres (337 mbar), resulting in the availability of only about a third as much oxygen to breathe.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in Denver?
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
An airplane is pressurized to 650 mm Hg which is the atmospheric pressure at a ski resort at 13000 ft altitude If air is 21 percent oxygen what is the partial pressure of oxygen on the plane?
21% of 650 mm Hg
What is the atmospheric pressure if the partial pressure of nitrogen oxygen and argon are 442mm Hg 118.34mm Hg and 5.66mm Hg respectively?
These three components are the three largest components of air. The total pressure of a gas mixture is just the sum of the partial pressures of each component. Air is a mixture and nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the three biggest components. So, the atmospheric pressure (or air pressure) would be the sum of the partial pressure of each component of the air: Ptot=PPnitrogen + PPoxygen+ PPargon = 442 mmHg + 118.34 mmHg + 5.66 mmHg = 566 mmHg
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in a balloon?
The partial pressure of oxygen will vary according to where you look. Atmospheric oxygen partial pressure is approximately 21% of the atmospheric pressure of the location at which you measure (typically around 1 atmosphere at sea level, making the partial pressure of oxygen at seal level 0.21 ATM or 21.3KPa). The value varies geographically and with time, but also varies in different tissues of organisms, since not all oxygen available is absorbed, and complex multicellular organisms will have certain tissues (respiring muscle) that use up oxygen, resulting in a lower partial pressure there.normal oxygen partial185.4 kPa or in another unit:100 mmHg in the arterial blood. The partial pressure on the alveolar site is about 105 mmHg.
