Solved: The solubility of N2 in blood is a serious problem for divers breathing

Chapter 13, Problem 13.158

(choose chapter or problem)

The solubility of N2 in blood is a serious problem for divers breathing compressed air (78% N2 by volume) at depths greater than 50 ft (see the margin note, p. 522). (a) What is the molarity of N2 in blood at 1.00 atm? (b) What is the molarity of N2 in blood at a depth of 50. ft? (c) Find the volume (in mL) of N2, measured at 25_C and 1.00 atm, released per liter of blood when a diver at a depth of 50. ft rises to the surface (kH for N2 in water at 25_C is 7.0_10_4 mol/L_atm and at 37_C is 6.2_10_4 mol/L_atm; assume d of water is 1.00 g/mL).
