Gce Model Questions Vol1 2018 Biology Question 1
Practice objective / multiple choice question 1 from the 2018 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
At sea level the barometric pressure is 760 mm Hg. A climber ascends to a altitude where the barometric pressure is 640 mm Hg. The fraction of oxygen in dry air is 0.21 and the water vapour pressure in the alveoli is 47 mm Hg. Using the alveolar gas equation \(PAO_2 = F_{iO_2}(P_b - P_{H_2O}) - \frac{P_{aCO_2}}{R}\) with \(P_{aCO_2}=40\) mm Hg and respiratory quotient \(R=0.8\), calculate the alveolar partial pressure of oxygen \(PAO_2\) (in mm Hg).
