Chapter 10, Problem 57E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Henry’s law constant for ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolved in arterial blood is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The amount of gas dissolved in a given volume of liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase at constant temperature is stated by the Henry’s law. The relationship between concentration of gas and the partial pressure of the gas is given by Henry’s law. The equation for the same is,
${\text{C}}_{\text{gas}}={\text{k}}_{\text{H}}\cdot {\text{P}}_{\text{gas}}$

To determine:
The Henry’s law constant for ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolved in arterial blood.
