Question

Calculate the partial pressure of oxygen given the total barometric pressure of 515 mmHg. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The partial pressure of oxygen given the total barometric pressure is : 108.15 mmHg

Given data :

Total barometric pressure = 515 mmHg

Assuming oxygen percentage = 21%

Barometric pressure dry at 37°C

Determine the partial pressure of oxygen

Applying  the relation below

Partial pressure = oxygen percentage * Barometric pressure

                          = 21% * 515 mmHg

                          = 108.15 mmHg

Hence we can conclude that the partial pressure of oxygen is 108.15 mmHg.
