Divers who go to great depths in the ocean experience large differences in pressure between the surface and their final destinat

ions below the surface. At times, they have to avoid quick changes in pressure because of the effects on the solubility of nitrogen in their blood. If the solubility decreases quickly, then gas bubbles can form in the person’s blood, causing a dangerous condition called “the bends.”
In one or two sentences, state whether you would expect the condition to be a greater hazard for divers as they dive down or as they return to the surface. Then, explain your prediction in terms of the solubility of gases in liquids at different pressures.

Since solubility decreases rapidly as the diver returns to the surface, the risk of having “the bends” is greater as the diver returns to the surface.

The solubility of a gas refers to the amount of the gas that dissolves in a liquid. Solubility of a gas is dependent on pressure. The greater the pressure, the higher the solubility of the gas and vice versa.

Pressure increases with depth as a diver moves down the sea. More pressure is exerted, the deeper the diver goes. This means that solubility of nitrogen in blood increases at a greater depth.

As the diver returns to the surface, the pressure decreases rapidly and the solubility of nitrogen also decreases suddenly making the risk of “the bends” to be greater as the diver returns to the surface.

Order the various instruments used for measuring water in this experiment (balances, graduated cylinders, beaker and pipette) fr
lara [203]

Answer:

(Most accurate) pippete>graduated cylinder>beaker>balance (Least accurate)

Explanation:

  1. <em>Most accurate. A pipette prived the most accurate method for delivering a known volume of solution, for example, a 10mL transfer pipette has an accuracy of ±0.02mL</em>
  2. A graduated cylinder is specifically used to deliver a known volume, its typical accuracy is ±1%, this means that a 100ml graduated cylinder is accurate to ±1mL.
  3. A beaker is a multipurpose cylindrical glass mainly used to hold liquids. Even though they are graduated, these marks are an estimation, the beaker's accuracy is around 10%.
  4. Least accurate. A balance measures an object's mass, even though water's density is close to 1, a balance is not the ideal equipment to measure volume, its capacity usually goes between 100-200grams and can measure mass to the nearest ±0.01mg to ±1mg.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

at atmoshperic pressure, a balloon contains 2.00L of nitrogen of gas. How would the volume change if the Kelvin temperature were
Nataly [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent change in volume will be 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=2L\\T_1=T_1\\V_2=?\\T_2=75\% \text{ of }T_1=0.75\times T_1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{2L}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{0.75\times T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{2\times 0.75\times T_1}{T_1}=1.5L

Percent change of volume = \frac{\text{Change in volume}}{\text{Initial volume}}\times 100

Percent change of volume = \frac{(2-1.5)}{2}\times 100=25\%

Hence, the percent change in volume will be 25 %
