why is the concentration of helium increased in some gas mixtures that divers breath in order to reduce the partial pressure of

oxygen?
Chemistry
1 answer:
sdas [7]3 years ago

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.

What is the mass in grams of 2.6 moles of angelic acid?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

260.34g

Explanation:

First, you need to know what angelic acid is comprised of. It is written as C₅H₈O₂.

In order to solve for the mass of 2.6 moles of angelic acid, you need the mass of 1 mole of angelic acid. This can be found by adding the masses from the periodic table, like shown below:

5 carbon atoms = (5)(12.01g) = 60.05g

8 hydrogen atoms = (8)(1.01) = 8.08g

2 oxygen atoms = (2)(16) = 32g

angelic acid = 60.05 + 8.08 + 32 = 100.13g

Then, set up a basic stoichiometric equation and solve. The units should cancel out.

(\frac{2.6mol}{1} )(\frac{100.13g}{1mol} )=260.34g

how can you find the Frequency if you only have the wavelength? can you solve this example what is the Frequency of the waveleng
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

75000 Hz

Explanation:

f = V / λ (f= frequency, v=velocity of wave, lambda= wavelength)

alternatively, f = c / λ (f= frequency, c= speed of light- 3.00x10^8 m/s, lambda= wavelength)

f= [3.00x10^8 m/s]/[4000 m]

=75000 Hz

How many CO2 molecules in 0.0189 mol of CO2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

option C is correct = 1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.0189 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given question:

1 mole of CO₂ =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂

0.0189 mol of CO₂ ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂ / 1mol

1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Thus, option C is correct.

Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2
