The first few questions ask students to think about the basic properties of gases: total pressures, partial pressures, and percentages of gases in an atmosphere.
(1) What is the approximate atmospheric pressure at sea level and at heights of 10,000 ft and 20,000 ft? (3)
(2) What is the relative percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere at these three locations? (3)
(3) What is the partial pressure for oxygen at these three locations? (3)

Partial pressures The scene below depicts a mixture of four gases. (1) Which gas has the lowest partial pressure? black (2) Which gas has the highest partial pressure? green - (3) If the total pressure is 1.57 atm, the partial pressure of the purple gas is atm. (Report as a number to two decimal places.) (4) When the total pressure of a mixture of gases is lowered, the partial pressures of individual gases is also reduced. Suppose you are in...
