The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of oxygen at 682 torr is 4.58\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}

Or,

\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}

where,

C_1\text{ and }p_1 are the initial concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

C_2\text{ and }p_2 are the final concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

We are given:

Conversion factor used:  1 atm = 760 torr

C_1=1.38\times 10^{-3}M\\p_1=0.27atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=682torr=0.897atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}}{C_2}=\frac{0.27atm}{0.897atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}\times 0.897atm}{0.27atm}=4.58\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the solubility of oxygen gas at 628 torr is 4.58\times 10^{-3}M
