I'm trying to work out the change in a gas/solution composition once they have equilibrated and I'm rather stuck at the moment.

The exchange is taking place in a sealed flask and the gas inside will be 40% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide and 55% nitrogen.

The solution will begin at 21% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide and 74% nitrogen.

All of this is taking place at 37oc.

I'm fairly sure I need to use Dalton's Law but it's been 4+ years since I've had to use it and I seem to have forgotten everything. Any help would be great!
 
Haven't got all my notes with me atm, but you need to know what pressure the system is at and then you can work out partial pressures, then work out equilibriums

I'll dig out my ChemEng book later if need be
 
Pressure is 1atm, partial pressures have been worked out taking relative humidity into account too.

Just don't know where to go from there!
