The solubility of nitrogen gas in water is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm and 13.3 mL/dL at 7.00 atm.
We want to relate the solubility of a gas with its partial pressure.
We can do so using Henry's law.
<h3>What does Henry's law state?</h3>
Henry's law states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.
C = k × P
where,
- C is the concentration of a dissolved gas.
- k is the Henry's Law constant.
- P partial pressure of the gas.
The solubility of nitrogen gas is 1.90 mL/dL of blood at 1.00 atm.
Since the solvent is basically water, we can understand that the concentration of nitrogen gas is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm.
We can use this information to calculate Henry's Law constant.
k = C/P = (1.90 mL/dL)/1.00 atm = 1.90 mL/dL.atm
We want to calculate the solubility of nitrogen gas at a pressure of 7.00 atm.
We will use Henry's law.
C = k × P = (1.90 mL/dL.atm) × 7.00 atm = 13.3 mL/dL
The solubility of nitrogen gas in water is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm and 13.3 mL/dL at 7.00 atm.
