In the science fiction movie, The Abyss, a diver is able to breathe while his head is immersed in a specially prepared liquid pu

mped into a water-tight helmet attached to a suit, thus allowing him to dive without an air tank and at greater depths than possible for scuba divers. Is this purely fiction, or is it at least theoretically possible? Explain, considering the nature of alveoli and alveolar gas exchange. Assuming it is possible, describe the composition and nature of the liquid in terms of its oxygen pressure and concentration

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.

Tigers and crocodiles are more closely related than tigers and sharks. Which statement about shared characteristics best support
Luda [366]

Answer: Crocodiles and tigers both have four legs

Explanation: Even when sharks and tigers are both meat eaters, the question is about similarities between tigers and crocodiles, so D is out. A is about crocodiles and sharks, so it's out also. B suits for sharks too, so it's out too. C is the most suitable answer, because both animals have four legs, which means that they belong to the group of quadrupede animals.

What is the name is the ionic compound CaO
gogolik [260]
Almost without exceptions, the alkali metals (Li, K, Na,...) are in oxidation state (I) and the alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, ...) are in oxidation state (II).

So without confusion, the naming of the metal part is simply the metal name, such as calcium oxide.

The Stock system (which indicates the oxidation state) is required only when the metal exhibits multiple oxidation states, such as iron (II) oxide or iron (III) oxide.  

Then again, older nomenclature applies the ending -ous to the lower oxidation state, and -ic to the higher.  Using the Latin name ferrum for iron, the previous compounds were named ferrous oxide and ferric oxide respectively.

in the chemical equation HCI+CaCO3 which element cannot be apart of the products a carbon b chlorine c nitrogen d oxygen​
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

The element nitrogen cannot be a product in the given reaction.

  The reaction is;

    HCl  + CaCO₃

According to the law of conservation of matter, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".

The law suggests that, in a chemical reaction, we end up with the same species we started with. Although due to rearrangement of bonds,  new compounds can form;

 

Starting atoms

     H

     Cl

     Ca

      O

These species will also be found in the product.
