Solved: The solubility of N2 in blood at 37C and at a

Chapter 12, Problem 12.38

(choose chapter or problem)

The solubility of N2 in blood at 37C and at a partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6 3 1024 mol/L. A deepsea diver breathes compressed air with the partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.0 atm. Assume that the total volume of blood in the body is 5.0 L. Calculate the amount of N2 gas released (in liters at 37C and 1 atm) when the diver returns to the surface of the water, where the partial pressure of N2 is 0.80 atm.
