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.

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.


Can you super glue a plastic gas tank?

Of courseANS 2 - Better to epoxy it as the gas may act as a solvent on the super glue.


How do divers get their air?

Divers typically get their air from a tank filled with compressed air, which they carry on their backs. This tank is connected to a regulator that controls the flow of air, allowing divers to breathe comfortably underwater. In some cases, divers may use alternative gas mixtures, such as nitrox or trimix, to extend their dive time or enhance safety. Surface-supplied diving systems are another option, providing air through a hose from a support vessel.

The use of an oxygen analyzer would be advised. Most nitrox and technical divers have one.

Why does a scuba diver need increased gas in the air tank?

Scuba divers require increased air pressures in their air tanks while diving because the pressure on their bodies increases.


What is the solute and solvent in liquid and gas solution?

In a liquid solution, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In a gas solution, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas that does the dissolving.


How does increasing the temperature of a gas solvent affect the solubility of a gas?

Increasing the temperature of a solvent decreases the solubility of a gas Generally, increasing solvent temperature decreases the solubility of gases.


Which solution will have more gas dissolved in it?

The solubility of a gas in a solvent is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the solvent.


How you can clean gas tank in aveo 2005?

To clean the gas tank in a 2005 Chevy Aveo, start by safely draining the fuel and disconnecting the battery. Remove the gas tank from the vehicle, then use a non-toxic solvent or fuel tank cleaner to clean the interior, scrubbing with a brush if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow it to dry completely before reassembling and reinstalling the tank. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and refill with fresh fuel.
