Question

If the solubility constant for oxygen in blood plasma is 2.3 mL/(dL plasma-atm), how many mL of oxygen are dissolved in 1.00 dL of blood plasma at an atmospheric pressure of 2.50 atm inside a hyperbaric chamber?


a. 5.8 mL
b. 6.9 mL
c. 1.2 mL
d. 3.5 mL
e. 0.77 mL



is d the right answer?

Answer 1

{2.3 mL/(dL plasma-atm)}*(1.00 dL)*(2.50 atm) = 5.75 mL.
The answer is (a).
Why (d)?
