Atmospheric pressure atop Mt. Everest is 4 2 3.30x10 N/m . (a) What is the partial pressure
of oxygen there if it is 20.9% of the air? (b) What percent oxygen should a mountain climber
breathe so that its partial pressure is the same as at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is
1.01 × 10^5 N/m^2 ?
Arbitrarily starting at a height of 50 km above the surface of the Earth, answer the following questions. (a) At this altitude, what is the density of the air as a fraction of the density at sea level? (b) Approximately how many air molecules are there in one cubic centimeter at this altitude? (c) At what altitude is air density one-millionth (1* 10^{-6}) that at sea level?
At an altitude of 11,000 m (a typical cruising altitude for a jet airliner), the air temperature is -60.0 ∘C and the air density is 0.491 kg/m3. The molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mol.
What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that altitude? (Note: The temperature at this altitude is not the same as at the surface of the earth, so the equation P=P0exp(−MgyRT) doesn't apply.)

- In 1992, a Danish study concluded that a standard toy balloon, made from latex and filled with helium, could rise to 10,000 m (where the pressure is 1/3 of that at sea level) in the atmosphere before bursting. In the study, a number of balloons were filled with helium, and then placed in a chamber maintained at −20°C. The pressure in the chamber was gradually reduced until the balloons exploded, and then the researchers determined the height above sea level corresponding to that pressure. Assume each balloon was filled with helium at +20°C and at about atmospheric pressure. Determine the balloon's volume just before it exploded, if its volume when it was first filled was 500 cm3.arrow_forwardEstimate the atmospheric pressure in atm. top of Mt Hulahulalang which is 15 km above sea level.

Since the snorkelconnects the air in the lungs to the atmosphere at thesurface, the pressure inside the lungs is atmosphericpressure. What is the external–internal pressuredifference when the diver’s lungs are at a depth of 6.1 m(about 20 ft)? Assume that the diver is in freshwater. (Ascuba diver breathing from compressed air tanks canoperate at greater depths than can a snorkeler, since thepressure of the air inside the scuba diver’s lungsincreases to match the external pressure of the water.)arrow_forward
