At the surface of the earth, partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.78 atm. At normal body temp (37°C), the solubility of N2 gas (MW 28.01 g/mol) in water is 0.015 g/L. What is the solubility of N2 in blood (especially an aqueous solution) at a depth of 100 ft, where partial pressure of N2 is 3.12 atm. Express answer in g/L
