Based on the data given in this question, the statement that shows a correct interpretation of the chemical reactions is as follows: reaction A was exothermic and reaction B was endothermic.
<h3>What are endothermic and exothermic reactions?</h3>
Endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy from its surroundings while exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat.
Endothermic reactions leave their surroundings cooler while exothermic reactions leave their surroundings hotter.
According to this question, the initial and final temperatures of two reactions are given as follows:
- Reaction A: 25.1°C and 30.2°C
- Reaction B: 25.1°C and 20.0°C
From the above data, reaction A was exothermic because it increased the surrounding temperature and reaction B was endothermic because it reduced the surrounding's temperature.

Answer:
Because of oxygen toxicity.
Explanation:
Oxygen toxicity.
Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.
The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.
