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 atmospheric air pressure at sea level of nitrogen?
This is a question involving figuring out a partial pressure. As in Dalton's law of partial pressures. (Gotta give the man his props. He earned them.) Without splitting hairs and working things to ten decimals, air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psi, and N2 makes up about 78% of air. Crunch the numbers and the partial pressure of nitrogen will be a bit under 11.5 psi. To beat this one to death, look up the percentage of nitrogen in the air and the air pressure at sea level to as many decimals as you'd like. Then multiply. Just so you know, John Dalton said that the sum of the partial pressures of gases in a mixture will equal the total pressure of the gas. And that was back in 1801.
How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)
How does the atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It is greater.
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.
As you walk down a mountainside atmospheric pressure will what?
It will increase. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude and increases as you move toward sea level. At sea level, atmospheric pressure = 1.0
Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?
The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases
Correlation between precipitation rate and level of atmospheric pressure?
The correlation between precipitation rate and level of atmospheric pressure is very apparent. As atmospheric pressure decreases, the amount and intensity of precipitation increases.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?
As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
Standard pressure is what?
It is mean atmospheric pressure at sea level.
What is the atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above you. this weight is 14.7 lbs per square inch at sea level. Air is made up of 78% Nitrogen - 21% oxygen and 1% trace gasses at sea level, This changes as you ascend as oxygen thins out and other gasses take its place which are lighter than air this changes the partial pressures of the gasses and of cores the weight.
How much nitrogen gas would be dissolved in a diver breathing air at 99 feet below the sea after the tissues has equilibrated with the higher nitrogen pressure?
This is potentially an involved question. For a simple answer, it would be four times the amount of a non-diver at sea level. The "amount" cannot really be quantified and the only way to answer this is in terms of what the partial pressure of nitrogen would be. But this too gets complicated since partial pressure assumes the gas stays in solution and no bubbling occurs. The next simplistic answer is to multiply the ambient pressure (4 atmospheres or 58.8 p.s.i.) times the nitrogen pressure percentage (79%) to reach an answer of 46.4 psi for the nitrogen partial pressure. But in reality the body is absorbing less than 79% nitrogen due to the water vapor pressure in the lungs, etc.
