Consider Henry’s law. If a patient is given air with 30 % oxygen to breathe (that is, at one and a half times normal oxygen partial pressure), by how much would the amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood change? A. it would increase by 150 % B. it would increase by 50 % C. it would increase by 30 % D. it would increase by 10 %
Option B. Henry’s law states that the quantity of gas that dissolve in water is proportional to its partial pressure. If its pp will increase via way of means of 50 % (i.e. through 1.5 times), then 50 % greater gas will dissolve.
