The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is equal to the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas. Since the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.2084 and the total pressure of air is approximately 1 atmosphere, the partial pressure of O2 in air is approximately 0.2084 atmosphere.

If the temperature is increased What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air?
In a sample of air, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen.
What is the partial pressure of hydrogen in air?
I think at sealevel and standard conditions the partial pressure of hydrogen is nearly zero (~0 Pa).
Does vapour pressure include the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere during boiling process?
The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.
What percent of oxygen causes toxicity?
Partial pressure of oxygen of 1.6 will cause toxicity. If using standard air (roughly 20% O2) this equates to a pressure of 8 bar which is present at 70m. In terms of the percentage of O2 which causes toxicity, it depends on the depth but a partial pressure of 1.6 bar is the toxicity threshold
If a sample of air that has a total pressure of 150 ATM contains 69 oxygen what is the partial pressure of oxygen found within the air?
The pressure is 103,5 at.
A barometer shows the atmospheric pressure to be 762 mm Hg What is the partial pressure of nitrogen if nitrogen is 78 percent of the air?
594.36
What partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 ATM and 20 percent of the air is oxygen?
The answer to the question what partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 atm and 20 % of the air is oxygen is 1.26 atm (atmospheres).
Air is about 78.0 percent nitrogen molecules and 21.0 percent oxygen molecules Several other gases make up the remaining 1 percent of air moleculesWhat is the partial pressure of nitrogen in air at at?
0.780 Atm
How does pressure affect air?
When air pressure is Low it becomes very difficult to breath simply because air moves from high partial pressure to low partial pressure.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in Denver?
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
If the temperature is increased What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air?
In a sample of air, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen.
What is the partial pressure of hydrogen in air?
I think at sealevel and standard conditions the partial pressure of hydrogen is nearly zero (~0 Pa).
What is the partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1atm)?
About 78 % (or about 11.7 psi).
Does vapour pressure include the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere during boiling process?
The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.
