Problem

The standard enthalpy change upon dissolving one mole of oxygen at 25∘25^\circC is −11.7-11.7 kJ. Use this number and the van't Hoff equation (Problem 5.85) to calculate the equilibrium (Henry's law) constant for oxygen in water at 0∘0^\circC and at 100∘100^\circC. Discuss the results briefly.
