Dalton's law applies to mainly:
A) pressure
B) volume
C) temperature
D) mass Correct Answer - A) pressure

Dalton's law states "the total pressure of a mixture of gases equal..."
A) inverse proportional to volume
B) nearly proportional to its absolute temperature
C) inversely proportional to the absolute mass
D) the sum of the partial pressures exerted by the individual gases
in the mixture Correct Answer - D

The largest percentage of the dry atmospheric composition is:

, A) oxygen
B) carbon dioxide
C) nitrogen
D) hydrogen Correct Answer - C) nitrogen

To calculate the partial pressure of a gas rate at a certain altitude,
the following points must be known:
A) barometric pressure and temperature
B) barometric pressure and rate of ascent
C) temperature and gas concentration
D) gas concentration and barometric pressure Correct Answer -
D) gas concentration and barometric pressure

According to Dalton's law, hypoxia results at high altitudes because:
A) decreased temperature make oxygen less available
B) as barometric pressure decreases, oxygen concentration
decreases.
C) while oxygen concentration remains unchanged, decreased
partial pressure makes is less available.
D) barometric pressure increases therefore oxygen is also at a
higher pressure. Correct Answer - C) while oxygen
concentration remains unchanged, decreased partial pressure
makes is less available.

25,000ft is:
A) 30-60 seconds
B) 90 seconds
C) 3-5 minutes
D) 30 minutes Correct Answer - C) 3-5 minutes
