Question

megan is an advanced diver. when diving deeper, what should she remember about the increased solubility and the pressure of the n₂ gas she is breathing in her tank? (1 point) hydrostatic pressure is in all directions. solubility increases with pressure. the evaporation of nitrogen can occur. nitrogen can react with water.

Explanation:

According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial - pressure of the gas above the liquid. As a diver goes deeper, the hydrostatic pressure increases, and the solubility of nitrogen gas in the diver's body fluids increases. Hydrostatic pressure being in all directions is a general property of fluids and not directly related to the relationship between solubility and pressure here. Nitrogen is a very stable gas and does not evaporate easily under normal diving conditions and does not react with water under normal diving conditions.

Answer:

Solubility increases with pressure.
