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 10^5 N/m^2. (a) What is the partial pressure (in N/m^2) of oxygen at sea level? N/m^2 (b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 1.50 x 10^6 N/m^2, what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level? %

Step 1

What is the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level? To find the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level, we need to know the total pressure of dry air at sea level and the percentage of oxygen in dry air. We are given that dry air contains 20.9% oxygen and has a Show more…
