Mixture of gases for scuba diving tanks compared to normal atmospheric air?

Most SCUBA divers dive with compressed air, which is normal atmospheric air compressed into a scuba tank.


Why deep sea divers not using ordinary air?

Because they have a air tank to help them breath.


Why do scuba divers need math?

they need to know how long they can be underwater, and how deep they can go with the air in the tank.

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.


How do scuba divers breathe underwater?

They don't breathe normally on their own.They have to use pressure regulators to breathe naturally, overcoming the extreme pressure deep underwater.A snorkel and oxygen tank help the divers breathe when they are underwater.


What is the solvent of diver's gas tank?

Diver's gas tanks typically contain a mixture of gases, primarily oxygen and helium, or oxygen and nitrogen, depending on the type of diving. The "solvent" in this context refers to the gas composition that allows for safe breathing under high-pressure conditions. In recreational diving, air (a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen) is commonly used, while deep-sea divers may use helium-oxygen mixtures to prevent narcosis. Thus, the "solvent" is essentially the primary gas or gas mixture that supports breathing during a dive.


A tank contains a mixture of 20kg of nitrogen and 20kg of carbon dioxide The total tank volume is 20 cubic meter Determine the density and specific volume of the mixture?

To determine the density of the mixture, you need to calculate the total mass of the gases and divide it by the total volume of the tank. Density = total mass / total volume. To determine the specific volume of the mixture, you need to divide the total volume of the tank by the total mass of the gases. Specific volume = total volume / total mass. Once you have these calculations, you'll have the density and specific volume of the gas mixture in the tank.

Why does the oxygen need to be comressed in a divers tank?

Oxygen needs to be compressed in a diver's tank to increase the amount of oxygen that can be stored in the tank. Compressing the gas allows divers to carry enough oxygen to sustain them while underwater for a longer period of time without the tank becoming too large and unwieldy.


Why is it important to use a strong material when making an air tank used by scuba divers for swimming deep below the ocean?

Depth doesn't really make any difference, but scuba tanks need to be made of strong materials because they are going to be filled with gases which are compressed to 200 times atmospheric pressure or greater. Unless they are strong, they would explode.


Is the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank a compound or heterogeneous?

The oxygen and helium in a scuba tank are considered a homogeneous mixture, not a compound or a heterogeneous mixture. In this case, the gases are mixed together uniformly, and their individual properties remain unchanged. A compound consists of two or more elements chemically bonded together, while a heterogeneous mixture would have distinct, separate components.
