What is the atmospheric pressure on the top of Mt Whitney?
It is 400 mm Hg and the partial pressure is 21% of 400 which is about 80 mm Hg.
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.
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.

0.107 atm
What is the partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1atm)?
About 78 % (or about 11.7 psi).

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.

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)
Explain the functional importance of the partial vacuum that exists in the intrapleural space?
If not present (and the intra-alveolar pressure equaled atmospheric pressure) the lungs would collapse.
How does one obtain the total pressure of a system that is being operated at the same pressure as current atmospheric pressure?
The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.
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 term that is used for the pressure of each gas in a mixture of gases?
The pressure of each gas in a mixture is called the partial pressure of that gas.
Why do the lungs remain expanded in the normal thoracic?
A couple of reasons: surfactant - a detergent - reduces surface tension to a negative value. the plura contains a "vacume" (lower pressure than atmospheric) and pulls the lungs to the chest wall. venous blood partial gas pressure is sub atmospheric.
