Dry air contains 79\% \(\text{N}_2\) and 21\% \(\text{O}_2\). At temperature T(K), the Henry's law constants for \(\text{N}_2\) and \(\text{O}_2\) are \(8.57\times 10^4 \,\text{atm}\) and \(4.56\times 10^4 \,\text{atm}\), respectively. If this air is in contact with water at 1 atm, what is the ratio of the mole fractions \(\frac{X_{\text{N}_2}}{X_{\text{O}_2}}\) of \(\text{N}_2\) and \(\text{O}_2\) dissolved in water?
The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.
