Given information
When the partial pressure of nitrogen exceeds roughly 4 atm, scuba divers might suffer from nitrogen narcosis, a state similar to drunkenness.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
"The amount of gas dissolved in a particular liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid," according to Henry's law.
It is given as:
where,
= gas solubility
= Henry’s law constant
= partial pressure of the gas
Nitrogen narcosis occurs as a result of increased solubility of nitrogen gas in the diver’s blood due to increased pressure.
