As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At a total air pressure of 3.00 atm and a temperature of 25.0C, what is the solubility of N2 in a diver's blood? [use the value of Henry's law constant K calculated in Part A, 6.26 x 10⁻⁴ mol/(L*atm).]

Assume that the composition of the air in the tank is the same as on land and that all of the dissolved nitrogen remains in the blood.
