∙ 11y agoThe partial pressure of carbon dioxide is approximately 0.00039 ATM which is equal to 0.0395 KPa or 0.296 mmHg or 0.005731 psi.
This pressure is calculated by taking the average air pressure in the atmosphere and then multiplying that by the fraction of all molecules in the air that are carbon dioxide. This method uses Dalton's law of partial pressures and assumes that all molecules behave as ideal gasses (an acceptable assumption for this purpose).

What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
What is Pressure in a pop bottle is caused by?
carbon dioxide
What absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The carbon dioxide is absorbed by: 1. Chlorophyll in green plants. The chlorophyll breaks down the carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used by the plant as a nutrient and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere. 2. Oceans. The carbon dioxide absorbed and dissolved in the water. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by green algae and water micro organisms.
How did bacteria change early earths atmosphere?
Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Early bacteria used carbon dioxide as a source of fuel and as a result produced oxygen.
What process returns carbon to the atmosphere?
Several processes release carbon as gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane) into the atmosphere. Three important processes are fuel combustion, respiration, and methane release. -- Combustion of carbon-based fuels (wood, alcohol, biogas, or fossil fuels) remove oxygen and combine it to form carbon dioxide and other compounds. -- Plant and animal respiration release carbon dioxide. This is the reverse operation of photosynthesis. -- Methane is released from ruminant animals, from decomposition of organisms, and from ocean-bottom clathrate deposits.
In deoxygenated blood is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is greater than the partial pressure of oxygen left?
save
How does the partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere vary with temperature?
It thickens the atmosphere layer, which makes it harder for the suns rays to pass back through it, and that creates more heat.
What is PaCO2?
The concentration of Carbon Dioxide in arterial blood. Partial (Pa) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) pressure in ABG.
A falling blood pH and a rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to pneumonia or emphysema indicates?
a falling blood PH and a rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to pneumonia or emphysema indicates?
What is the atmosphere made of on Venus?
It is mostly carbon dioxide, 97 %, at a pressure 90 times that of earth's atmosphere at sea level.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary arteries?
The partial pressure of oxygen in expired air is 109 mmHg. Partial pressure is calculated at the proportion of oxygen in the air, so at 1 atmosphere for dry air pressure is 713 mmHg (which is 760 total pressure - 47 mmHg water vapor) and oxygen is 21% of the dry gas concentration so inspired pO2 is 150 mmHg.
Which organ is responsible for regulating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in body fluids?
brain
Atmosphere has low air pressure and is mostly carbon dioxide?
mars
What planet has an atmosphere has low air and mostly carbon?
Mars has an atmosphere with low air pressure which is mostly carbon dioxide.
Does partial pressure of oxygen increase during exercise?
You can consume up to ten times as much oxygen in exercise as at rest, and produce the same increase in CO2.
What blood gas is value with a pH of 7.34 a partial pressure of oxygen of 80mmHg partial pressure of carbon dioxide of 49mmHg and HCO3 of 24mmHg?
metabolic acidosis
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood is approximately?
46
