a scuba diver breathes air (from a tank) which has a partial pressure for nitrogen of 4.0 atm. calculate the volume of nitrogen he must breathe out on his way to the surface based on the following: the atmospheric pressure is 1.0 atm; air is 78.1% nitrogen; the max solubility of nitrogen in blood under a partial pressure of nitrogen of 0.50 atm is 3.2 x 10-4 m; the total volume of the diver's blood is 5.0 l

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 (i.e. the maximum molarity at equilibrium) of N2 gas in blood at 327.193K under a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.897 atm is 5.69x10-4 mol.L-1 . When swimming at large depth in the ocean, a diver breathes compressed air with a partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.07 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 nitrogen gas (in liters to the third decimal place) that must be released when the diver returns to the surface of water, where the partial pressure of N2 is 0.897 atm.

As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At atotal air pressure of 2.89 atm and a temperature of 25.0 celcius,what is the solubility of N_2 in a diver's blood? [Use the value ofthe Henry's law constant k calculated in Part A, 6.26* 10^{-4}\;mol/(L\ atm).]

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