Question

A deep-sea diver should breathe a gas mixture that has the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level, where dry air contains 20.9% oxygen and has a total pressure of 1.01 X 105 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level? (b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00 X 106 N/m2, what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?

Step 1

Given: Oxygen mole fraction in dry air (X) = 0.209 Total pressure at sea level (Pt) = 1.01 x 10^5 N/m^2 Using the formula for partial pressure: Partial pressure of oxygen (PA) = X * Pt PA = 0.209 * 1.01 x 10^5 PA = 2.11 x 10^4 N/m^2 Show more…
