A study of climbers who reached the summit of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen showed that the partial pressures of O 2 and CO 2 in their lungs were 35 mm Mg and 7.5 mm Hg, respectively. The barometric pressure at the summit was 253 mm Hg. Assume the lung gases are saturated with moisture at a body temperature of 37 °C [which means the partial pressure of water vapor in the lungs is P (H 2 O) = 47.1 mm Hg]. If you assume the lung gases consist of only O 2 , N 2 , CO 2 , and H 2 O, what is the partial pressure of N 2 ?

Solution Summary: The author explains how the ideal gas equation can be obtained by combining Boyle's, Charles’s Law and Avogadro.
