The arterial oxygen content, or concentration, in blood is usually expressed in mlO2/100ml of blood. The volume of oxygen is estimated under STPD, that is, standard temperature (0°C or 273 K) and pressure (760 mm Hg) and dry, as is usual in chemistry a) Assuming a Henry's constant value of 900ATM/M for Oz in blood, and an arterial partial pressure of O, of 115mmHg, calculate the concentration of oxygen dissolved in ml/100ml of blood under STPD. b) Using the result from a) and assuming that an average adult consumes 1mol of oxygen per hour, calculate the number of liters of blood that should be stripped of oxygen to supply the basal oxygen consumption.
