Problem- assume that blood is mostly water the henrys law


Problem- Assume that blood is mostly water. The Henry's law constant for N2 in water at 300 K is 86,000 atm. The hydrostatic pressure acting on a diver is 1 atm at the surface, and increases by approximately 1 atm for every 33 ft of depth.

1) Calculate N2 solubility in blood as a function of water depth, and explain why a diver would get the bends.
