Air for a diver comes out of a high pressure tank at - Same- pressure compared to the water around the diver (metered by the regulator).

This means the lungs are inflated with - Highly pressurized- gas.

This does not adversely affect the diver when deep underwater, because the entire environment around the diver is at -Same - pressure.

If the diver suddenly surface, the air in the alveoli in the lungs will still be at - a higher - pressure compared to the air around the diver, which will be at - a lower - pressure.

The gas in the diver's lungs will - expand - and can damage the alveoli.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

option D.

Diffusion is the particle movement from high concentration to low concentration, such as air, water, etc.                      

Example: if you spray perfume spread throughout the room at one part of the fragrance scent.                                                        

The gas molecule thus spreads out in a gradient of concentration

In most cases, what happens to a liquid when it cools?
kogti [31]
When liquid cools, both its density and volume increases. Therefore the answer to your question are #s 1 and 5. This is due to the fact that molecules which are compacted or pressed against each other form a solid, and when they start to cool-down the molecules start to break free from each other increasing the density of a liquid and the space that it occupies.

The half-life of element X is 20 years. If there are 48 g initially a) How much is there after 80 years
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

After 80 years there will be 3 g of element X remaining

Explanation:

Given;

the half life of element X = 20 year

initial mass of element X = 48 g

a) How much is there after 80 years

0 year --------------------------> 48 g

20 years -----------------------> (48g / 2) = 24 g

40 years ------------------------> 12 g

60 years ------------------------> 6 g

80 years --------------------------> 3 g

Therefore, after 80 years there will be 3 g of element X remaining.
