Estimating solubility of oxygen in water

The Henry's law constant for oxygen in water is as follows:

Temperature, °C                     0                    10
K, mmHg/mol fraction       1.94 x 107        2.48 x 107

Estimate the solubility of oxygen in water (in mg/L) at 20°C and a total air pressure of 1 atm.
