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.

How could you tell whether a liquid is <br> honey or vinegar?
MissTica
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).

Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)

Answer:

Ti6Al4V1 or Ti6Al4V

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following Important data or parameters or information which is going to help us in solving this question and they are;

The "surgical-grade" titanium is made up of 64.3% titanium, 24.19% aluminum and 11.42% vanadium.

This is a stoichiometry Question so in order to be able to solve this question one must have the basic knowledge of stoichiometry, it is advisable that one revise it.

So, let us delve right into the solution of this question. Recall that, the formula for Calculating the number of moles = mass/molar mass.

Hence, the number of moles of titanium,Ti = 64.3/47.87 = 3 moles.

Also, the number of moles of aluminum = 24.19/26.98 = 0.8966

For vanadium; 11.42/51 = 0.22

The next step is to divide each number of moles component by the lowest number of mole, that is;

Ti = 1.34/ 0.22 = 6; Al = 0.8966/0.22= 4 and V = 0.22/0.22 = 1.

Thus, the emperical formula is = Ti6Al4V.
