In an air tank like the kind used by miners and divers what purpose does nitrogen serve?

Yes, a tank of oxygen can be half full. The oxygen would be stuck in said tank meaning no more oxygen can get in unless refueld.
What is man made that has oxygen in it?
Oxygen tank.
What is used to test a tank for oxygen content?
If it is supposed to be an oxygen tank, the amount of oxygen remaining is usually determined by weighing the tank (on some scales with enough capacity to measure such a weight) and then subtracting the weight of the empty tank (the tare weight) which should be recorded before the tank was filled. If it is a matter of testing whether any oxygen is in a tank that contains a mixture of substances, then you'd probably need to take a sample and run it through something like a mass spectrometer or a gas chromatograph calibrated to look for that substance.
How is compressed oxygen defined?
Compressed oxygen--oxygen that is stored as a gas in a tank.
What is the mixture of gases in a deep sea divers air tank?

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.
Why do you need oxygen cylinders when you go scuba diving?
The simple answer is ... you don't. A majority of scuba dives use compressed air in the cylinders. Therefore you don't need "oxygen" cylinders. HOWEVER, if you are a diver that is diving on Nitrox, in which divers change the amount of oxygen vs nitrogen in their air, then your tank needs to be "oxygen clean" because you are putting oxygen in first, then nitrogen.
What is an aqualung?
An aqualung is a piece of equipment consisting of an oxygen tank and breathing apparatus used by divers to allow them to breathe underwater at depth.
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.
Is there a way of breathing underwater using a small oxygen tank with a directly connected mouthpiece?
yes, basically you're just saying what scuba-divers do
Name something deep sea divers wear that you look silly wearing in a swimming pool?
Flippers Oxygen Tank Wet suit Snorkel Mask
Your dive tank has 3 year old gas in it is it safe to use?
The use of an oxygen analyzer would be advised. Most nitrox and technical divers have one.

What is the minimum amount of PSI you can have in your oxygen tank before you need to exchange tanks?

What is the name of a compressed air cylinder used in skin diving?
Divers (and others) call the compressed air cylinders used by divers tank(s) or SCUBA tank(s).
