The volume of blood in the body of a certain deep-sea diver is about 7.00 L. Blood cells make up about 55% of the blood volume, and the remaining 45% is the aqueous solution called plasma. What is the maximum volume of nitrogen measured at 1.00 atm and 37°C that could dissolve in the diver's blood plasma at a depth of 93 m, where the pressure is 10.4 atm? (This is the volume that could come out of solution suddenly, causing the painful and dangerous condition called the bends, if the diver were to ascend too quickly.) Assume that Henry's constant for nitrogen at 37°C (body temperature) is 5.8 10-4 mol·L-1·atm-1
