Final answer:
B) Henry's Law explains how a hyperbaric chamber aids in treating carbon monoxide poisoning by increasing oxygen levels in the blood to displace carbon monoxide from hemoglobin.
Step-by-step explanation:
The principle that explains why a hyperbaric chamber, containing high levels of oxygen, can treat carbon monoxide poisoning is Henry's law. This law suggests that at a given temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid. By increasing the partial pressure of oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber, more oxygen dissolves in the blood. This high concentration of oxygen in the blood displaces the carbon monoxide from the hemoglobin, thereby allowing more oxygen to bind to the hemoglobin and be transported throughout the body. The use of a hyperbaric chamber accelerates the process of removing carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, which essentially treats the poisoning by re-oxygenating the blood more efficiently than normal atmospheric conditions would allow.
