QUESTION:

Helium is mixed with oxygen gas for deep-sea divers. Calculate the percent by volume of oxygen gas in the mixture if the diver has to submerge to a depth where the total pressure is 4.2 atm. The partial pressure of oxygen is maintained at 0.20 atm at this depth.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The goal of the problem is to calculate the percent by volume of oxygen gas in the mixture

Given:

The partial pressure of oxygen = 0.20 atm.

The total pressure of sea = 4.2 atm.

The temperature and volume occupied by the He and O are same. Therefore, the pressure is proportional to the number of moles.
