Divers, returning from deep dives, can get the bends from nitrogen gas bubbles in their blood. Assume that blood is largely water. The Henry's law constant for N2 in water at 25°C is 86,000 atm. The hydrostatic pressure is 1 atm at the surface of a body of water and increases by approximately 1 atm for every 33 feet in depth. Calculate the N2 solubility in the blood as a function of depth in the water, and explain why the bends occur.
