Chapter 13, Problem 9

A scuba diver is breathing compressed air that is 21% (by volume) oxygen at a depth of 66 ft. beneath the surface. The total pressure at this depth is 3.0 atm. The Henry's law constant (k) for O2 in water at a normal body temperature (37 °C ) is 1.93 * 10-3 mol>(L atm). What is the solubility of O2 in the blood of the diver at 66 ft. beneath the surface? (LO 13.9) (a) 1.22 * 10-3 M (b) 2.76 * 10-2 M (c) 1.22 * 10-1 M (d) 2.76 * 10-1 M
