Ok,

So, after using pK=t, K is 0.0197, and solving for the new temp at 380mmHg, the new temp is 7.5 degrees C.

If the temp drops 5 degrees for every 1000m of elevation, then the temp went from 15 degrees down to 7.5 degrees. Setting up the equation:

5/1000 = 7.5/X

X is =1500m

Have I done this correctly ?

Thanks.
