In alveolar air its 569.0 mm Hg. In expired air its 566.0 mm Hg. This is per Guyton & Hall's Textbook of Medical Physiology (1996)
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.
To find the partial pressure of oxygen, we need to subtract the partial pressures of nitrogen and CO2 from the total pressure of the mixture, which is typically around 760 mmHg at sea level. Therefore, the partial pressure of oxygen would be 760 - 630 - 39 = 91 mmHg.
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in the systemic veins at sea level is around 40 mmHg. This value indicates the pressure exerted by oxygen molecules in the blood and corresponds to the oxygen content in the venous blood returning to the heart.
CO2 in the blood stream can be measured from bicarbonate in the blood or pCO2 (partial pressure). Normal CO2 measured from bicarbonate is 22-28 mEq/L Normal pCO2 is 35-45 mmHg

If nitrogen were pumped into your lungs at high pressure, its solubility in your blood would increase due to Henry's Law, which states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. This could lead to nitrogen bubbles forming in the bloodstream, causing decompression sickness or "the bends."
That depends on whether you are asking about the red blood cells themselves, or the blood as a whole. The fluid portion of the blood will have a O2 partial pressure around 20%, but the red blood cells will have an O2 partial pressure nearing 100%.
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE
Normal blood pressure is measured by two numbers that represent how much mercury is in your blood. A completely normal blood pressure reads: Below 120 / below 80.
Normal blood pressure in an adult would be 120/80
The partial pressure of oxygen in tissue is lower due to oxygen being delivered from the blood to the tissues for cellular respiration. As tissues consume oxygen for metabolic processes, the partial pressure decreases. Additionally, factors like distance from capillaries and tissue oxygen consumption rate impact the partial pressure of oxygen in tissues.
