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

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of hypochlorous acid and 0.27 mol of sodium hypochlorite in water sufficient to yi
finlep [7]

Answer:

hypochlorite ion

Explanation:

The hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³, when this acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClO⁻ (From sodium hypochlorite, NaClO) a buffer is produced. When a strong acid as HCl is added, the reaction that occurs is:

HCl + ClO⁻ → HClO + Cl⁻.

Where more hypochlorous acid is produced.

That means, the HCl reacts with the hypochlorite ion present in solution

How can Newton's Third Law of Motion be used to explain why it is difficult to walk on a slippery surface, such as ice?
Olenka [21]
E ground pushes you forward. But that interaction is friction. Reduce friction and it doesn't matter how strong your legs are, the surface is incapable of pushing you accordingly. The coefficient of static friction is very low so it is easy to slide your foot rather than push.

DaniilM [7]
<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>

A students drawing of a nitrogen atom is shown. What change would make the model more accurate?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

C - show 7 neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Use process of elimination:

-Answer A will not work because electrons are not in the nucleus.

-Answer B will change the atom's identity from nitrogen to fluorine; it will not work.

-Answer D will create a nitrogen ion, which is not what the prompt is asking for (an atom); it will not work.

The only logical answer is C, as that is the only one that is also true.
