A scuba diver that ascends to the surface too quickly can experience decompression sickness, which occurs when nitrogen that dis

solves in the blood under high pressure, forms bubbles as the pressure decreases during the ascent. Therefore, an understanding of the gas laws is an important part of a scuba diver's training. In fresh water, the pressure increases by 1 atm every 34 ft below the water surface a diver descends.
If a diver ascends quickly to the surface from a depth of 102 ft without exhaling, by what factor will the volume of the diver's lungs change upon arrival at the surface?

Answer:

The factor that will change the volume of the diver's lungs upon reaching the surface is 4

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure increases 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

34 ft = 10.3632 m

Depth of 102 ft = 31.0896 m

Question: What factor will the volume of the diver's lungs change upon arrival at the surface, V₂/V₁ = ?

The pressure at 31.0896 m:

P_{1} =101.325+(\frac{31.0896}{10.3632} *101.325)=405.3kPa

The factor will the volume of the diver's lungs change upon arrival at the surface:

\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1} } =\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} =\frac{405.3}{101.325} =4

Question 2 (1 point)
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

35 amu

Explanation:

In an atom, only masses of protons and neutrons are relevant. electrons are so small in size that their masses are negligible.

The mass of 1 proton/neutron is 1amu.

What is the oxidation number of NH4OH?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
NH4 itself is called ammonium ion with positive charge of 1+. hence the oxidation state will be +1

OH itself is called hydroxide ion with negative charge of 1-. hence the oxidation state will be -1

there's actually no such compound as stated in your chemical formula. although it's simply called ammonium hydroxide by looking at the chemical formula, in fact the compound should rightly be called as aqueous ammonia with chemical formula of NH3 (aq). this is because the ammonia molecule will ionise due to the presence of water molecule to be protonated, hence forming ammonium ion and hydroxide ion in the solution.
