Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, as no conditions of pressure of temperature are given for this problem, we can assume that the scuba diver dives at STP (1 atm and 273.15 K), which means that 1 mole of air would occupy a volume of 22.4 L.
In such a way, since she needs 50.0 moles of air, the following ratio is useful to compute the size (volume) of the tank she needs:
Thereby, we plug in to obtain:

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.
Solution:
Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.
(
) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)
....(1)
= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.
Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:
partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :
Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.
= Total pressure of the mixture.
from (1)
On rearranging, we get:
The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.
