Document Summary
18,00 above sea level, the amount of oxygen in the air would be _____ as. 18,00 above sea level, the amount of oxygen in the air would be _____ as blacksburg. *iclicker* bburg is about 2,100 ft above sea level. 18,00 above sea level, the partial pressure of oxygen would be _____ as blacksburg. Air exerts a downward force on the air below it. The higher you go, the less air there is pushing down from above to the ,lower the total pressure and thsus the partial pressure of each gas is lower as well. A= area over which the diffusion occurs d=distance across the diffusion occurs. When the surface area is larger, the diffusion is faster. When the difference btwn the gas partial pressures on the two sides of the membrane is larger, the rate of diffusion is faster. Membrane is thicker, the rate of diffusion is slower.
