Explain how pressure affects a scuba diver rising to the surface

Chemistry
1 answer:
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 />

A base has Kb of 2.5 x 10-11. which of the following statements is true?(1 point)
Furkat [3]
I disagree with the answer pick of D. If you have a neutral pH 7 solution and you proceed to add a base even with an relatively insignificantly low Kb your solution would still be more basic then acidic. The answer should be b which is true that the base only ionizes slightly in aqueous solution. This is also truer to the definition of what Kb represents.
