14. The solubility of N₂ in blood at 37°C and at a partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6 x 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 at 37°C when the diver returns to the surface of the water, where the partial pressure of N₂ is 0.80 atm.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given Information

At 37degreeC and at a partial pressure, P1= 0.80 atm

solubility of N2 in blood, C subscript 1 space equals space 5.6 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent space m o l divided by L

partial pressure of N2 in compressed air, P2 = 4.0 atm

total volume of blood in the body, V = 5.0 L
