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 9 (2 points)
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.39 moles

Explanation:

To find how many moles are in 50.0 g of CaC₂O₄ you divide the grams of the sample by the molar mass of the compound;

\frac{50.0 g}{128.097 g/mol}=0.39 mol

The grams cancel out and you are left with moles!

I hope this help ^-^

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

you can classify a mineral by its appearance and other properties. The presence of a mineral is defined by the color and luster, and the color of the powdered mineral is described by the band. Every mineral has a distinctive density. To compare the hardness of rocks, the Mohs Hardness Scale is used.
