Question

Oxygen (O₂) is necessary for cellular respiration; it must be transported from the lungs to tissues through the bloodstream. However, O₂ is not very soluble in water. The Keq of oxygen dissolving at 300.0 K is 7.64 x 10⁻⁴ and the Keq at 320.0 K is 5.23 x 10⁻⁴. Calculate the ∆H(dissolve) for oxygen solubility in water, in kJ/mol.
