Chapter 9, Problem 9.96(choose chapter or problem)
Hyperbaric chambers, which provide high pressures (up to 6 atm) of either air or pure oxygen, are used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from decompression sickness in deep-sea divers to carbon monoxide poisoning. Look up the solubility of\(\mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{~N}_{2}\), CO, and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2})in water at standard temperature and pressure (101,325 Pa, 298 K).
(a) Explain the trends in relative solubility for these gases. (Refer to Section 8.2 and Section 9.2)
(b) Explain how elevated pressures in a hyperbaric chamber be used to treat decompression sickness (excess \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) in blood) and carbon monoxide poisoning. (Refer to Section 7.9 and Section 9.5)
