question 67

Essay

Henry's law constant for oxygen dissolving in blood is 0.0374 mol/(L · atm) at body temperature (37°C). Calculate the ratio of the molar concentration of oxygen in the blood of a mountain climber to that of a scuba diver. Air pressure on the mountain is 0.35 atm and is 3.0 atm for the scuba diver. The mole fraction of oxygen in air is 0.209.
