What is oxygen used for?

A breathing mixture used by deep sea divers contain helium, oxygen and carbon dioxide. what is the partial?

  • Answer:

    We know the sum of all partial pressures equals the total pressure. So take your total pressure (101 kPa) minus the pressure of He (84kPa), minus the pressure of CO2 (0.1) and you end up with your partial pressure of O2. (101) - (84) - (0.1) =16.9kPa.
