Most full scuba tanks have a pressure of between 1,800 p.s.i. and 3,000 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch). Approximately 70 to 85

cubic feet of air has been squeezed into the tank. When a diver takes his air tank to be refilled, the dive shop will hook his tank to a compressor with a pressure hose and place his tank in a tub of water while it is being filled. What reasons can you give for placing the tank in water?

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

                        V\propto T    (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

<span>I would think that because water has a high specific heat, the water in the tank must be cold. Because the scuba tank is at high pressure, and the water is cold, the gas put into the tank will be more compact, and will not expand. According to Charles' law, as temperature increases, volume increases and because in this situation temperature is decreasing, volume will decrease. It would be great to keep the tank into the water because under these conditions, you can store more oxygen into the tank per square inch.

I hope this helps:)</span>

Cite 2 reasons Democritus’ ideas about the atom were NOT accepted
omeli [17]

The two reasons Democritus’ ideas about the atom were NOT accepted are atoms are indestructible and they move in infinite space.

<h3>What is atom?</h3>

An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element.

<h3>Democritus’ ideas about atom</h3>

Democritus believed that atoms were uniform, solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible and that they moved in infinite numbers through empty space until stopped.

Differences in atomic shape and size determined the various properties of matter.

Thus, the two reasons Democritus’ ideas about the atom were NOT accepted are atoms are indestructible and they move in infinite space.

In Part III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phe
AnnZ [28]

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} is a salt soluble in water. \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq).

The first test tube used to contain \text{NH}_4\text{OH}. \text{NH}_4\text{OH} is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+}  \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq).

There's also an equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l).

\text{OH}^{-} ions from \text{NH}_4\text{OH} will shift the equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} to the right and reduce the amount of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} will add to the concentration of {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions in the solution. Some of the {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions will combine with \text{OH}^{-} ions to produce \text{NH}_4\text{OH}.

The equilibrium between  \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.
