Explain how pressure affects a scuba diver rising to the surface

Chemistry

maw [93]3 years ago

When underwater a diver is under greater pressure then when at the surface of the water and the deeper you go down the higher the pressure. A diver is also inhaling pure pressurized oxygen so when they begin to go up toward the surface of the water the pressure on the diver is lessened which causes the gases in the blood stream to expand, most particularly nitrogen gas, due to the lower amounts of experienced pressure and the higher concentration of oxygen in the blood stream. Now if the diver surfaces to rapidly the expanding gas can travel to the brain damaging it and/or rupturing blood vessels which can cause hemorrhaging which in turn can cause death. The situation where a diver surfaces too quickly and the expanded gas damages their brain is called The Bends. <span />

Explain why the column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned as near to the vertical as possible
____ [38]
<span><span>The column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned vertical to get better separation because the column is essentially longer. It will prevent channeling in the column. </span>Therefore column efficiency will be higher if it is as vertical as possible instead of tilted.<span> Distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two (or more) components. In a typical </span>fractional distillation, a liquid mixture is heated in the distilling flask and the process begins.</span>

how much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weights about 660.0 gram, from 12.93 degree Celsius to
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

                      Q  =  2647 J

Explanation:

                    Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required by one Kg of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 °C.

In thermodynamics the equation used is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  ?

           m  =  mass  =  660 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  0.3850 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  23.35 °C - 12.93 °C  =  10.42 °C

Putting values in eq. 1,

                            Q  =  660 g × 0.3850 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹ ×  10.42 °C

                            Q  =  2647 J

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

  • An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality.
  • Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food.
  • Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.

Fantom [35]
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water.
