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>

What should you be careful of when measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker
andrezito [222]

The precaution to be taken while measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker is applying proper heat balance and taking all the required precautions.

  • A beaker with an open top contains a sample of liquid. It exposes this sample to light.
  • That liquid absorbs the light energy, turning it into heat energy. As a result, the liquid becomes warmer and evaporation is accelerated. As a result, there is less liquid in the beaker.
  • Since it is well known that the surface temperature of a liquid, along with air movement above the liquid surface, is one of the dominant factors affecting evaporation, I want to measure the evaporation rate as a function of surface temperature.
  • This can be done by applying a heat balance.
