Chapter 13, Problem 62(choose chapter or problem)
Atmospheric pressure atop Mt. Everest is 3.30104 N/m2 . (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen there if it is 20.9% of the air? (b) What percent oxygen should a mountain climber breathe so that its partial pressure is the same as at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is 1.01105 N/m2 ? (c) One of the most severe problems for those climbing very high mountains is the extreme drying of breathing passages. Why does this drying occur?
