The partial pressure of oxygen will vary according to where you look. Atmospheric oxygen partial pressure is approximately 21% of the atmospheric pressure of the location at which you measure (typically around 1 atmosphere at sea level, making the partial pressure of oxygen at seal level 0.21 ATM or 21.3KPa). The value varies geographically and with time, but also varies in different tissues of organisms, since not all oxygen available is absorbed, and complex multicellular organisms will have certain tissues (respiring muscle) that use up oxygen, resulting in a lower partial pressure there.

100 mmHg in the arterial blood. The partial pressure on the alveolar site is about 105 mmHg.

∙ 11y agoThe partial pressure of Argon is determined by the Barometric Pressure and by what percent Argon gas makes up Earth's Atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere is made up of Nitrogen 78.08% (.7808), oxygen 20.95% (.2095), Argon .93% (.0093), and CO2 .03% (.0003). Daltons Law tells us that the total pressure of a mixture of gasses is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gasses. So percent Nitrogen partial pressure + Oxygen partial pressure + Argon partial pressure + CO2 partial pressure = 760 mmHg at sea level.
Barometric pressure at Sea Level is 760 mmHg and Argon comprises .93% (.0093) of Earth's atmosphere.
Nitrogen Partial Pressure - 760 * .7808 = 593.408 mmHg
Oxygen Partial Pressure - 760 * .2095 = 159.22 mmHg
Argon - 760 * .0093 = 7.068 mmHg
CO2 - 760 * .0003 = 0.228 mmHg
Add all those up and they come to 759.9 mmHg which is right at our Sea Level 760 mmHg
Argon's partial pressure = 7.068 mmHg

What is the partial pressure of oxygen at boiling point of oxygen.?
um... the partial pressure at the boiling point always must be equal to the vapor pressure. This is true for all substances.Added:The partial pressure of a pure (100%) gaseous substance boiling from its pure liquid is 100% of total pressure, because its fully pure, so what else could be there.
How do you get the same amount of oxygen to dissolve in plasma as carbon dioxide you would have to?
Increase partial pressure of oxygen
When the partial pressure of oxygen exceeds about 1.4atm what happens to the amount of oxygen in a divers bloodstream when he or she breathes oxygen at elevated pressures?
It increases
What is the oxygen cascade?
sequential drop in the partial pressure of oxygen from 1 step to the next in a series of steps by which oxygen is transported from the atmosphere to the mitochondria.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest if the atmospheric pressure on Mt Everest is one-third the atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It will be same as it is at sea level.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in Denver?
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
What is PC02?
partial pressure of oxygen
What is oxygen tension?
The partial pressure of oxygen. Alternatively, you can think of it as the concentration of oxygen at a specific pressure.
How would gas exchange be affected at the top of a tall mountain where air pressure is lower and there is less oxygen then lower elevations?
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, the partial pressure (partial oxygen) is lower. As partial pressure of oxygen goes down, the body's desire for oxygen goes up.

What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the arterial and venous blood?
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.
A pressurized tank contains a mixture of oxygen and helium.if the partial pressure of oxygen is 10atm and the partial pressure of helium is 32.8 ATM what is the total pressure inside the tank?

What partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 ATM and 20 percent of the air is oxygen?
The answer to the question what partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 atm and 20 % of the air is oxygen is 1.26 atm (atmospheres).
If the temperature is increased What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air?
In a sample of air, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary arteries?
The partial pressure of oxygen in expired air is 109 mmHg. Partial pressure is calculated at the proportion of oxygen in the air, so at 1 atmosphere for dry air pressure is 713 mmHg (which is 760 total pressure - 47 mmHg water vapor) and oxygen is 21% of the dry gas concentration so inspired pO2 is 150 mmHg.
