Fish breathe the dissolved air in water through their gills. Assuming the partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen in air to be 0.20 and 0.80 atm, respectively, calculate the mole fractions of oxygen and nitrogen in the air dissolved in water at 298 K. The solubilities of O2 and N2 in water at 298 K are 1.3 × 10−3 mol/L • atm and 6.8 × 10−4 mol/L • atm, respectively. Comment on your results.
