Answer:
The partial pressure of the oxygen is 82.98 mmHg.
Explanation:
From the given,
Atmospheric pressure = 461 mmHg
Atmospheric oxygen = 18%
Partial pressure of oxygen =?
[tex]Partial\,pressure\,of\,oxygen\,=\,Total\,pressure\timesVolume\,fraction[/tex]
[tex]=$\text{461\,mmHg}$\times \frac{18}{100}\,=82.98\,$\text{mmHg}$[/tex]
Therefore, Partial pressure of oxygen is 82.98 mmHg.
