for a fixed amount of an ideal gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional.

the amount of a gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid.

in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas.

sea level - 10000 ft: pilots breathe outside air only

10000 ft - 34000 ft: pilots breathe a mixture of 100% O2 and outside air

34000 ft - 40000ft: pilots have to breathe pure O2

>40000 ft: pilots must breathe 100% O2 under positive pressure
