Industrial deep-sea divers must breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to prevent a disorienting condition known as nitrogen narcosis. If a diver's tank is filled with a helium-oxygen mixture to a pressure of 170 atmospheres and the partial pressure of helium is 110 atmospheres, the partial pressure of the oxygen is ? - is the question The answer is 60. Total pressure minus the partial pressure= 170-110= 60.
What is helium made from?
Do you mean helium? Helium is an element, so it's made of .... helium!
Is the difference between helium in a jar in helium?
helium in a jar diff from helium atom
Name the noble gas withe the smallest atomic number?
He- Helium. He- Helium.
What happens when helium is heated up?
If the helium is confined to a fixed volume, the pressure will increase. If the volume is not constrained, the volume will increase. Because helium is such a small atom, it tends to diffuse through the walls of any container enclosing it. Increasing the temperature will also increase the rate of this diffusion since the atoms will be more energetic.
Why is helium use to protect the constitution?
Humidified helium replaced oxygen to prevent further erosion
What chamber do divers go into to prevent a diving sickness called The Bends?
Hyperbaric Chamber
What is the scientific explanation for the bends?
the explanation is that the bends are caused by nitrogen in the blood stream and the block up the blood way and causepain. to get rid of the bends you need to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY. TO PREVENT THE BENDS rise to the surface of the water every 15 minuets. the air will then clear you blood passage. Nitrogen in the bloodstream causes bends, which leads to blocking of the bloodstream causing pain
How many bends can a sewer vent have?
No more then 904 1/8th bends and on the VT usually one return bend 180 degree fitting to prevent vandalism BUT local codes should be checked
Can we use helium as Fire extinguisher?
No, helium is not used in fire extinguishers. We find carbon dioxide (CO2) in some extinguishers, but not helium.
Can fish get the bends?
yes they go upsidedown sometimes or keep at bottom facing the ground and dosnt know whether its upright or upsidedown,To prevent this or stop 'The Bends' u have to put salt in your tank and get some beans and peal the skins off when u have done this the Bends will eventually go and your fish will be HAPPY again =)
What will happen if you breathe in heliuim?
One of the effects of a small amount of helium in the breath is to change the voice similar to a cartoon Donald Duck sound. Professional deep sea divers will breath a mixture of Oxygen and Helium this helps preventdecompression sickness known as the Bends. If you breath pure helium you would asphyxiate. (starve the brain of Oxygen and die)
What is it called when a mirror bends inwards or outwards?
Convex when it bends outwards, concave when it bends inwards
What is heluim used for?
Helium is used for Airships and blimps. It also makes your voice squeaky! It is used as an inert gas shield in tungsten inert gas welding of aluminum and magnesium. It is used in mixture for deep diving to prevent nitorgen narcosis (the bends). It is used in cooling processes in some nuclear reactors. Helium dating is used to determine the age of some types of rocks for geological purposes. It is also used to inflate children's balloons.
Will helium catch fire?
No. Helium is a completley inert gas and is not known to undergo ANY chemical reactions.

The bends are symptomatic of what?
The bends are also known as decompression sickness.
