Chapter 11, Problem 11.25QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The solubility of oxygen in the blood of a climber on Mt. Everest.

Interpretation: The given question stated that use the Henry’s law constant for ${\text{O}}_2$ dissolved in arterial blood from problem $11.23$. The solubility of oxygen in the blood of a climber on Mt. Everest $\left(P_{\text{atm}}=0.35\text{atm}\right)$ and a scuba diver at $100\text{feet}\left(P=3\text{atm}\right)$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The formula to calculate solubility of gas is,

$C=k_{\text{H}}{P}_{\text{gas}}$
