If the partial pressure of n2 in a scuba divers blood at the surface is 0.79 atm, what will the pressure be if he/she descends to a depth of 30 meters (4 atm) and stays there long enough to reach equilibrium (b)

If the partial pressure of N2 in a scuba divers blood at the surface is 0.79 atm, what will the pressure be if he/she descends to a depth of 30 meters (4 atm) and stays there long enough to reach equilibrium (b)

Explanation:

for every 3m that the internal pressure is lowered, it increases in an atmosphere approximately, so when the blood pressure of nitrogen decreases 30m, it will increase by approximately 10 atm, being enough there for the body to enter into equilibrium

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
