Explain how pressure affects a scuba diver rising to the surface

Chemistry
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
8 0
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 />

The atomic mass of titanium is 47.88 atomic mass units. This atomic mass represents the
kkurt [141]
Answer (3) is the most correct, although (2) is not to be ignored. (3) states the most abundant isotope Ti's average mass, which is certainly true. (2) is the total mass of all protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of Ti, which is true but has to be more specific in order to pinpoint exactly the 47.88 amu. (4) is incorrect because it is not of all the naturally occurring isotopes of Ti. (1) is incorrect because they forgot electrons.

What element is this? How do you know?
postnew [5]

Atom is the most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element.  A combination of atom of different elements creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.

For each pair of ions, choose the one that has the smaller radius.  Na+ or Mg2+  Cl- or K+
Drupady [299]
Mg2+...because it loses 2 electron which is on its valence shell making it empty and making it have jst 2 shells. The radius calculated from d nucleus to the new valence shell is then smaller than that of Cl^- and k+

What energy is required to remove the remaining electron from singly ionized helium?
skelet666 [1.2K]

To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy.

The amount of energy required by an isolated, gaseous molecule in the electronic state of the ground to absorb in order to discharge an electron and produce a cation has been known as the ionization energy. The amount of energy required for every atom in a mole to drop one electron is most often given as kJ/mol.

Anything that causes electrically neutral atoms and molecules to gain or lose electrons in order to become electrically charged atoms as well as molecules .

Therefore, the "To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy."
