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.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many moles of NO2 form when each amount of reactant completely reacts.
Anton [14]

Answer:-  2.4 mol NO_2 .

Solution:- It asks to calculate the moles of NO_2 formed when 1.2 moles of N_2O_5 are reacted.

There is 2:4 mol ratio between N_2O_5 and NO_2 . So, the moles of reactant are multiplied by the mol ratio to get the moles of NO_2 . The calculations are shown below:

1.2mol N_2O_5(\frac{4mol NO_2}{2mol N_2O_5})

= 2.4 mol NO_2

So, 2.4 moles of NO_2 are formed when 1.2 moles of  N_2O_5 were reacted.

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation

Explanation:

When a solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is mixed with hydrochloric acid, HCl, the compounds dissociate into the ions Na+, OH-, H+ and Cl-. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions react to form water, but the sodium and chlorine ions stay in solution unchanged.
