The 36 pages that link to Partial pressure, each with the reason it gives.
PressureBroader topic: Gas mixtures assign pressure contributions to individual components.
Vapor pressureRelated: In a mixture, the vapor’s contribution is its partial pressure, not the total pressure.
Atmospheric pressureRelated: It isolates a gas’s contribution from the total pressure of the atmosphere.
Dissolved oxygenRelated: Oxygen partial pressure in air helps determine its equilibrium level in water.
Relative humidityRelated: Water-vapor partial pressure provides a measurable basis for calculating relative humidity.
Henry's lawBroader topic: The law uses the gas’s pressure contribution, not the mixture’s total pressure.
Le Chatelier's principleRelated: Raising total pressure raises partial pressures, shifting equilibria toward the side with fewer gas moles.
Scuba divingRelated: The partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen shape both gas toxicity and narcosis.
Raoult's lawRelated: Raoult's law predicts the vapor-phase partial pressure of each solution component.
Cutaneous respirationRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive exchange across the skin.
Pulmonary alveolusRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive exchange across alveolar walls.
Mole fractionRelated: In an ideal-gas mixture, partial pressure is total pressure multiplied by mole fraction.
CarbonationRelated: The carbon dioxide partial pressure above a liquid helps set its dissolved concentration.
Dalton's law of partial pressuresBroader topic: Each component contributes its own partial pressure to the mixture's total.
CalcinationRelated: Low carbon dioxide pressure can favor carbonate decomposition during heating.
Gas exchangeRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive their exchange across respiratory surfaces.
Vapor–liquid equilibriumRelated: Component partial pressures connect vapor composition to total pressure.
Respiratory systemRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive gas exchange.
Fish gillRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive exchange across gills.
Diving physiologyRelated: Changing partial pressures with depth shape gas exchange and decompression risk.
FugacityCompared with: Partial pressure approximates fugacity for ideal mixtures but misses nonideal interactions.
HumidityRelated: Water vapor pressure is one way to quantify vapor in air.
Ideal solutionRelated: Each component’s Raoult-law vapor pressure is its partial pressure above the liquid.
Chemical activityCompared with: It approximates gas activity only when the gas mixture behaves ideally.
Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curveNarrower topic: Oxygen partial pressure forms the curve’s horizontal axis.
Gas pressureCompared with: A mixture’s total gas pressure combines the contributions of its components.
Insect respirationRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon-dioxide partial pressure help drive gas exchange.
Minimum alveolar concentrationRelated: Anesthetic effects track partial pressure more directly than the total concentration of gases in blood.
Inhalational anestheticNarrower topic: Anesthetic transfer between alveoli, blood, and brain follows partial-pressure gradients.
Air–sea gas exchangeRelated: Gas partial pressures help determine the atmospheric-to-ocean concentration gradient.
Volcanic outgassingRelated: Gas solubility in magma depends partly on the pressure exerted by each volatile component.
Oxygen fugacityRelated: Oxygen fugacity is often reported as an equivalent oxygen partial pressure.
TorrRelated: Gas mixtures in laboratories and vacuum systems often express partial pressures in torr.
Underwater divingNarrower topic: Gas effects on the body depend on partial pressure, which increases with depth.
Blood–air barrierRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive diffusion across the interface.
Circulatory and Respiratory Physiological PhenomenaRelated: Differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures drive their exchange between air, blood, and tissues.
