At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.3 kPa (kilopascals). Since nitrogen makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere, the partial pressure of nitrogen can be calculated by multiplying the total atmospheric pressure by the percentage of nitrogen. This results in a partial pressure of approximately 79.1 kPa for nitrogen at sea level.
The partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is approximately 0.78 atm. This means that nitrogen makes up about 78% of the total 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.
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.
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 partial pressure of oxygen is a measure of the pressure exerted by oxygen in a mixture of gases. In atmospheric air at sea level, the partial pressure of oxygen is around 160 mmHg. The partial pressure of oxygen can also be calculated using the equation: partial pressure of oxygen = total pressure of gas mixture * mole fraction of oxygen gas in the mixture.
the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)
When the water level is higher inside the flask than outside, the gas pressure in the flask would be lower than the atmospheric pressure. This is because the water exerts a partial vacuum on the gas in the flask, reducing its pressure compared to the external atmospheric pressure.
It is greater.
The atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101,325 pascals.
The partial pressure of nitrogen in air at sea level (assuming total pressure of 1 atm) would be 0.78 atm, calculated as 0.78 (78% of the total pressure).
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.
The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases
