[8]
The solubility of N₂ in blood at 37°C and a partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6×10-4 mol/L. A deep sea diver breathes
compressed air with the partial pressure of N₂ equal to 4.0 atm. Assume that the total volume of blood in the body is 5.0 L.
Calculate the amount of N2 gas released (in liters at 37°C and 1 atm) when the driver returns to the surface of the water, where
the partial pressure of N₂ is 0.8 atm.
