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.

Calculate the percent by volume of a solution that has 75 mL of solute dissolved in 375 mL of solution. Show your work and round
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The answer is 20 % V/V

Explanation:

We use this formula for calculate the %V/V:

%V/V= (ml solute/ml solution) x 100= (75ml/375 ml)x 100 = 20 % V/V

<em>The% V / V represents the amount of ml of solute dissolved in 100 ml of solution</em>

A high speed train travels 176 miles in 7 hours. What is the speed of the train
umka21 [38]

Answer:

25 mph

Explanation:

So we have to find the unit rate, or you could use the DTS triangle, but both say you have to divide, so our equation is:

176 ÷ 7 = 25.14

But I'm going to round that

So the train is traveling at 25 mph

hope this helps:/

Is one mole of zinc the same as one atom of zinc?
Papessa [141]

Answer: No.

Explanation: One mole of zinc is not the same as one atom of zinc. In one mole of zinc, there are approximately 6.022*10^23 atoms of zinc.

Methane burns in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

= 9.28 g CO₂

Explanation:

First write a balanced equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂

Convert the information to moles

7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄

13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂

Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2

Actual ratio is  0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1

If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂

So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation

Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂

0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂

Then convert to grams

0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂

round to 3 sig figs

= 9.28 g CO₂
