What is the partial pressure (in mmHg) of oxygen in a sample of sea level air (a mixture
of oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, carbon dioxide and other things) given the following
information?
P(N₂) = 0.72 atm P(H₂O) = 7.7 torr P(CO₂) = 0.37 mmHg P(other) = 0.97 kPa

The partial pressure of oxygen, P(O₂) is 198.83 mmHg.

What is partial pressure of a gas?

The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure gas will exert in a mixture of gases which do not react chemically together.

The sum of partial pressure of gases at atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg

P(N₂) +  P(H₂O) + P(CO₂) + P(O₂) + P(other) = 760 mmHg

P(N₂) = 0.72 atm = 547.2 mmHg

P(H₂O) = 7.7 torr = 7.7 mmHg

P(CO₂) = 0.37 mmHg

P(other) = 0.97 kPa = 5.9 mmHg

P(O₂) = 760 - (547.2 + 7.7 + 0.37 + 5.9) = 198.83 mmHg

Therefore, the partial pressure of oxygen, P(O₂) is 198.83 mmHg.
