In 1953 Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary became the first documented mountaineers to summit Mt Everest. Because the atmospheric pressure is so low at that altitude, they usedsupplemental oxygen to summit. Given that Everest is about 8850 m, calculate the fraction of O2 present at the summit compared with that at sea level. For simplicity assume T = 290 K andthat Earth's atmosphere is 80% N2 and 20% 02.O 0.82O 0.18O 0.64O 0.36
