What is the main reason more gas dissolves in a diver's blood in deep sea?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: External pressure is high
At great depth, the pressure surrounding a diver is much higher than at the surface. According to Henry's law, increasing the partial pressure of a gas generally increases the amount of that gas dissolved in a liquid such as blood. Water colour, light level and the false claim about blood water do not control this effect.
