Using the depth you calculated above (104.7 m), determine the %oxygen that a diver should use in their tank at that depth to achieve a sea level normal PO2 of 150 mmHg?
Added by Maria C.
Step 1
7 m. We can use the formula: PO2 = (depth/10) + 1, where depth is in meters. PO2 = (104.7/10) + 1 PO2 = 11.47 atm Show more…

A scuba diver breathing normal air descends to $100 \mathrm{m}$ of depth, where the total pressure is 11 atm. What is the partial pressure of oxygen that the diver experiences at this depth? Is the diver in danger of experiencing oxygen toxicity?
