Question
Chapter 31, Problem 18RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The partial pressure of oxygen that a driver would be breathing at a depth of 30 m.
Introduction: It is given that the air pressure given to a scuba driver must equal that applied by the surrounding seawater. The pressure of the surrounding seawater increases one full atmosphere for each 10 m increase in depth.
