Question:

Gases can be (very) slightly soluble in molten metals. For example, the solubility of nitrogen in liquid iron is well correlated by the empirical expression 

wt % nitrogen = 0.045/PN (bar)

One question that arises is whether the gas dissociates on the dissolution, that is, whether the dissolution process is 

N (gas) N (in metal) or whether the process is N (gas)  N(in metal)

Use the equilibrium correlation above to decide which process is occurring.
