What is it called when there is too much nitrogen while scuba diving?
Nitrogen Narcosis (Rapture of the Deep) Nitrogen is an inert gas that makes up 79% of the air we breath. Due to the effects of pressure, this gas produces an altered mental state similar to alcohol intoxication. The effect typically becomes noticeable at 100 ft underwater and can be incapacitating at 300 ft, causing stupor, blindness, unconsciousness, and even death. Nitrogen narcosis is also called "the martini effect" because divers experience an effect comparable to that of one martini on an empty stomach for every 50 ft of depth beyond the initial 100 ft. Nitrogen narcosis is caused by the gases in the body acting in a manner described by DALTON'S LAW of partial pressures. This states : the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of gases in the mixture. As the total gas pressure increases with increasing dive depth, the partial pressure of nitrogen increases and more nitrogen becomes dissolved in the blood. This high nitrogen concentration impairs the conduction of nerve impulses and mimics the effects of alcohol or narcotics. The symptoms of nitrogen narcosis include: dizziness; giddiness; euphoria; loss of balance; disorientation; loss of manual dexterity; slowing of reaction time; fixation of ideas; and impairment of complex reasoning. These effects are exacerbated by cold and stress. The effects of nitrogen narcosis are totally reversed as the gas pressure decreases. They are typically gone by the time the diver returns to a water depth of 60 ft. Nitrogen narcosis has no hangover or lasting effects requiring further treatment unless the affected diver had lost consciousness during the dive.
What state of mater obeys Boyle's law?
That Law applies to the Gas phase.
Why is there a limit to the depth a diver can go?
there are several reasons. One is the effects of nitrogen narcosis, which is when you go below 100 feet in the water, you get the effects of laughing gas. the other is caused by oxygen toxicity, which is when you are breathing pure oxygen deeper than 130 feet. These are all caused by Boyle's law, I think.
What gas law applies to the bends?
Henry's law is one of the gas laws, stating that the amount a gas dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. As pressure builds, more nitrogen and oxygen gets absorbed by the blood in the body, and it tends to get absorbed faster than it gets released, meaning that when you resurface and the pressure declines, the gas in the blood is still increased.
What state of matter obeys Boyle's laws?
That is a law that applies to an ideal gas, and (as an approximation) to real gases as well.
What is a psychologist that applies psychology to law and legal proceedings?
A forensic psychologist applies psychological principles to legal issues and court cases. They may assess individuals for mental competency, evaluate witnesses' credibility, provide expert testimony in court, and work with law enforcement on criminal investigations.
Why is the boyles law applicable only the idealgases?
Not true. It applies to real gases that are exhibiting ideal behavior. Any gas that is not 'close' to its boiling and is at a 'low' pressure will behave like an ideal gas and Boyle's Law can be applied. Remember there is no such thing as an ideal gas, so when Boyle did his experiments and came up with his law he was using a real gas, probably just air.
Does air lose heat as it moves faster?
Yes it does the gas law that applies here says increase in velocity = decrease in temperature and pressure.
Explain what is meant by the partial pressure of a gas and how it applies to respiration?
Partial pressure of a gas applied to respiration is explained by Dalton's Law. It states that in every mixture of gas, each individual gas has its own pressure that makes up the total pressure of gas.
Identify the gas law that is used to describe gas behavior under a specific set of circumstances.?
Charles' Law and other observations of gases are incorporated into the Ideal Gas Law. The Ideal Gas Law states that in an ideal gas the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and mass as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles (a measure of mass), R is the gas constant, and T is temperature. While this law specifically applies to ideal gases, most gases approximate the Ideal Gas Law under most conditions. Of particular note is the inclusion of density (mass and volume) and temperature, indicating a relationship between these three properties.The relationship between the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of a gas ~APEX
How criminal law works?
it applies for everyone who crosses the law
Law of the conservation of angular momentum applies which body?
Law of conservation of momentum applies to any body on which no external torque is acting.
