Explanation / Answer

Answer: Air pressure level of the Tropopause is 226 mb (millibar).

Explanation:

Air Pressure = C*p*T

Dry air gas constant (c) = 2.87 Erg/g/k

Mean Air density of Tropopause (p) = 0.363 kg/m³

Mean Air temperature of Tropopause (T) = 216.65 Kelvin

So, Air Pressure of Tropopause = C*p*T = 2.87*0.36*216.65 = 225.708
