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

oxygen?

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.

Question 2
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1-Pentene

Explanation:

If we look at all the options listed, we will notice that the rate of reaction of bromine with each one differs significantly.

For 1-pentene, addition of bromine across the double bond is a relatively fast process. It is usually used as a test for unsaturation. Bromine water is easily decolorized by alkenes.

Cyclohexane, heptane are alkanes. They can only react with chlorine in the presence of sunlight. This is a substitution reaction. It does not occur easily. A certain quantum of light is required for the reaction to occur.

For benzene, bromine can only react with it by electrophilic substitution in which the benzene ring is retained. A Lewis acid is often required for the reaction to occur and it doesn't occur easily.

Calculate the ph of a solution at 25. 0 °C that contains 2. 95 × 10^-12 m hydronium ions.
Makovka662 [10]

The pH of a solution at 25. 0 °C that contains 2. 95 × 10^-12 m hydronium ions is 13.5.

<h3>What is pH? </h3>

pH is defined as the concentration of the hydrogen bond which is released or gained by the species in the solution which depicts the acidity and basicity of the solution.

<h3>What is pOH? </h3>

pOH is defined as the concentration of the hydronium ion present in solution.

pOH value is inversely proportional to the value of pH.

pH value increases, pOH value decreases and vice versa.

Given,

Total H+ ions = 2.95 ×10^(-12)M

<h3>Calculation of pH</h3>

pH = -log[H+]

By substituting the value of H+ ion in given equation

= log(2.95× 10^(-12) )

= 13.5

Thus we find that the pH of a solution at 25. 0 °C that contains 2. 95 × 10^-12 m hydronium ions is 13.5.
