Air is a mixture of a number of gases. The major components are oxygen and nitrogen with approximate proportions of $20\%$ and $79\%$ by volume at $298\ K$. The water is in equilibrium with air at a pressure of $10\ atm$. At $298\ K$,if the Henry's law constants for oxygen and nitrogen are $3.30 \times 10^7\ mm$ and $6.51 \times 10^7\ mm$,respectively,the mole ratio of gases $(O_2 : N_2)$ dissolved in water is about

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 8$
  • D
    $1 : 3$
