The solubility of N2 in blood can be a serious problem (the "bends") for divers breathing compressed air (78% N2 by volume) at depths greater than 50 ft. Find the volume (in mL) of N2, measured at 25degrees celsius and 1.00 atm, released per liter of blood when a diver at a depth 50 ft rises to the surface. the total pressure (water weight plus atmospheric pressure) on the diver at 50 ft is 2.47535atm (kH for N2 in water at 25 degrees celsius is 7.0x10^-4 mol/Lxatm

At ordinary body temperature (37 °C), the solubility of N₂ in water at ordinary atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm) is 0.015 g/L. Air is approximately 78 mol % N₂. (a) Calculate the number of moles of N₂ dissolved per liter of blood, assuming blood is a simple aqueous solution. (b) At a depth of 100 ft in water, the external pressure is 4.0 atm. What is the solubility of N₂ from air in blood at this pressure? (c) If a scuba diver suddenly surfaces from this depth, how many milliliters of N₂ gas, in the form of tiny bubbles, are released into the bloodstream from each liter of blood?

The solubility (i.e. the maximum molarity at equilibrium) of N2 gas in blood at 37oC under a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6 x 10-4 mol.L-1. When swimming at large depth in the ocean, a diver breathes compressed air with a partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.0 atm. Henryâs law indicates that the solubility of N2 gas increases with pressure. Assume that the total volume of blood in the body is 5.0 L. Calculate the amount of N2 gas in the diverâs blood before diving. Calculate the amount of N2 gas in the diverâs blood as he is breathing compressed air with a partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.0 atm. Calculate the amount of nitrogen gas (in liters) that must be released when the diver returns to the surface of water, where the partial pressure of N2 is 0.80 atm.

The solubility of N₂ in blood at 37Â°C and at a partial pressure of 0.80 atm is5.6 Ã 10^â4 mol/L. A deep-sea diver breathes compressed air with the partial pressure of N₂ equal to 5.0 atm. Assume that the total volume of blood in the body is 5.2 L. Calculate the amount of N₂ gas released (in liters at 37Â°C and 1.00 atm) when the diver returns to the surface of the water, where the partial pressure of N₂ is 0.80 atm
