Most full scuba tanks have a pressure of between 1,800 p.s.i. and 3,000 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch). Approximately 70 to 85
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

                        V\propto T    (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

Answer:

How does non-human life in an urban ecosystem differ from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem?

Explanation:

In forest eco system the people are uncivilized and not so much educated. And in urban eco system people are intelligent as well as educated this is the main reason. In an urban ecosystem, the only non-human life that live there are the ones that are able to survive under the conditions. However, in undeveloped forest ecosystems, there’s barely any pollution. Therefore, a bigger variety of non-human life is able to live here.

How does the location and design of a house can help control temperature?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since each place has specific conditions of temperature, humidity, altitude and others, it is important for the companies building houses to consider all of those factors because they could wear out or affect the customer's lifestyle as the years go by.

More specifically, for temperature, since customers tend to complain and concern about it, there are some strategies in order to control it:

- In terms of location, it is possible to locate the house near to threes covering the sun, build it in a higher altitude since the higher altitude the lower the environmental temperature or just look for a place wherein the temperature is almost constant, for instance, south America.

- In terms of design, it is possible to build the walls and roofs with isolating materials which very likely to keep the inner part of the house from high temperatures or just installing heaters inside them.

Of course, there may be more strategies in order to control it.

Best regards.

As you move down a group of the periodic table how does the atomic radius of the atoms change​
lana [24]

Answer:

An atom gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase; therefore the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. In general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right of a certain period.
