Question

Assume that the composition of the air in the tank is the sameas on land and that all of the dissolved nitrogen remains in theblood.

in another part it said that the composition of N2 in air is78%

As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At atotal air pressure of 2.89 atm and a temperature of25.0 Degree C , what is the solubilityof N2 in a diver's blood? [Use the valueof the Henry's law constant k calculated in Part A, 6.26 x 10^ - 4 mol/(L.atm) .] Assume that the composition of the air in the tank is the sameas on land and that all of the dissolved nitrogen remains in theblood. in another part it said that the composition of N2 in air is78%

Explanation / Answer

solubility = k*Partial pressure = (6.26e-4 M/atm)*(2.89atm*0.78) solubility = 1.41 x 10-3 mol/L
