Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 34CTQ
When you open a bottle of sparkling water, the carbon dioxide gas in the bottle form bubbles. If the bottle is left open, the water will eventually “go flat.” Explain these phenomena in terms of atmospheric pressure.

Mountain climbers often use the expression “thin air” to describe atmospheric conditions at high elevation. For example Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air is about a deadly climbing expedition to Mount Everest.
What does it mean to say the air gets “thinner” as you climb upward?
Explain the reason why the air gets “thinner” with increasing altitude.
Briefly explain why it becomes difficult to breathe in “thin” air. Your answer should include something about the human physiology of breathing and why it is more difficult when the air is "thinner."
Gases exchange
You bring your favorite soccer ball from your place of residence in Portland to your grandparent's house much higher on the mountain. When you arrive, you get the soccer ball out of your bag. Due to the change in atmospheric pressure, is the ball underinflated or overinflated?
After 15 minutes of playing soccer, you are out of breath even though you are breathing rapidly to compensate for the low oxygen.
Which of the options below is closest to the best possible oxyhemoglobin saturation you could hope for while you are visiting your grandparent? 55%,75%,95%?
