A newly discovered planet has an atmospheric pressure of 900 mm/Hg. The oxygen concentration is 18%. What is the pO2? Would that level of O2 be adequate for human respiration? why or why not?
Given,
The atmospheric pressure of newly discovered planet(Patm)=900mm/Hg
Oxygen concentration=18% = 0.18
The partial pressure of any gas can be calculated by following formula
Pgas= (Patm) × (gas percent content in mixture) i.e
PO2 = (Patm) × (Oxygen percentage in mixture)
PO2 = 900mm/Hg × 0.18 =136.8 =137 mm/Hg
Therefore the partial pressure p02 at this planet is 137 mm/Hg
This level of pO2 be adequate for human respiration because the normal breathing range of pO2 is 80-100 mm/Hg.

Calculate the partial pressure of O2 (P02, mm Hg) in dry air in Arcata (sea level- assume atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg). Arcata air never gets fully dry. Assume 90% humidity at 15°C (saturated water vapor pressure at 15°C=12.8 mm Hg) and calculated the actual partial pressure of O2 in Arcata air
If the atmosphere contains 21% oxygen at 730 mm Hg, then the partial pressure of oxygen would be:
