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 1.01×105 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 2.00×106 N/m2 , what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?
The combined gas law PV=nRT is a very useful equation. From the equation one can see the relationships between the variables. Scenario: I just climbed to the top of mount Everest and it is a beautiful day. For a celebration I want to eat a dehydrated meal with raw chicken. This is safe to do so? Questions to think about: What pressure is present on the top of Mt. Everest? Greater or less than the pressure at sea level? How does that relate to temperature? What temperature will water boil at the top of Mt. Everest? Will that temperature be hot enough to cook the raw chicken?
At the surface of a freshwater lake, the pressure is 105 kPa. What is the approximate pressure decrease in going 42.6 m above the surface? Air at 20°C has density of 1.20 kg/m3. in kPa What is the approximate pressure decrease in going 42.6 m above the surface? Air at 20°C has density of 1.20 kg/m3. In pa
A helium weather balloon is inflated so that the pressure inside is at Earth's atmospheric pressure (approximately 101 kPa). If the balloon is then released on a planet whose thick atmosphere results in a pressure inside the balloon twice that of Earth's atmospheric pressure, what will happen to the balloon's volume? It stays the same. It decreases slightly. It increases slightly. It halves.

The density of a gas is 0.417 kg/m^3. What is the specific volume of the gas?
Tire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. That is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object contains pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 40.16 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01x10^5 Pa.
