The air pressure on the summit of Mt Everest is about 30 kPa or 300 mbar. This is a third of the air pressure at sea level (1/3 of 1 atm).

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?

The partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest would be approximately one-third of the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level, assuming a constant composition of air. This decrease is due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure at higher elevations. This lower partial pressure of oxygen can lead to decreased oxygen availability for breathing at high altitudes.


Does Mt. Everest pressure decrease or increase as you climb up?

At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.


What is the air pressure (in millibars) at the top of Mt. Everest?

At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.

Why the atmospheric pressure at Mumbai is higher than Mt. Everest?

Atmospheric pressure is higher in Mumbai than on Mount Everest because pressure decreases with elevation in the atmosphere. Mumbai is at sea level, where the weight of the air above exerts greater pressure, while Mount Everest, at over 8,848 meters, has much less air above it, resulting in lower pressure. Additionally, the density of air decreases with altitude, contributing to the significant difference in atmospheric pressure between the two locations.


How many days will there be no O2 if you climb mt Everest?

None, there is air at the top of Everest and that air has just as much O2 in percentage terms (20%) as the air at sea level. The problem is that the pressure of the air at the top of Everest is much much less (4.89 psi) than the pressure of the air at sea level (15.48 psi). This means that in each breath you take there is less O2 in comparison to a lung full of air breathed in at sea level, you will need to take 3 breaths on the top of Everest to get as much O2 as one breath at sea level,

Why does it take longer to boil an egg on nthe top of Mt Everest versus at sea level?

It should take virtually no time to boil an egg atop Mt. Everest, as the air is less dense (it is higher up) so there is less pressure keeping the water from undergoing a phase change and boiling.
