Got this question from an anatomy class and it has puzzled me... possibly a bad question?
So here is a brain teaser for those willing to take the challenge. Let me know what you think.
If you had a balloon in which ppO2 was 150mm Hg and ppCO2 was 50mm Hg and you deflated it to half the volume, what is the new ppO2 and ppCO2? What would happen to the ppO2 and ppCO2 if you filled the balloon back up to volume with air?
