If helium replaces the nitrogen in normal air, the pitch of the diver's voice will increase considerably.

What are marine applications for helium?

As breathing gas for diving: A mixture of oxygen and helium (some times containing nitrogen or a small percentage of oxygen) is used to avoid the phenomenon of narcosis when only pure oxygen is used; also helium make the effort for breathing easier.


What is the mixture 15ml of oxygen and 5ml of helium?

A mixture of oxygen and helium is used in diving.


Is oxygen gas also known for helium?

Oxygen is not known as helium. But a mixture of oxygen and helium is used in the oxygen cylinder for underwater diving.


Can helium be deadly?

Potentially. While helium itself is inert and thus non-toxic, like any gas it can push oxygen out of the way. Breathing pure helium means you are not breathing oxygen. Without oxygen you can die in minutes.


Does helium dissolve into oxygen?

No, helium does not dissolve into oxygen. Helium is a non-reactive gas that remains separate from other gases in a mixture.


What does helium have to do with deep breathing systems?

Helium is sometimes used in deep breathing systems as a gas mixture to help improve lung function. When helium is inhaled, it can reduce airway resistance and increase the flow of oxygen to the lungs, which can be beneficial for people with certain respiratory conditions.


Is helium a gaseous mixture?

No - it is an element all in itself. An example of a gas mixture is carbon dioxide, made of a mixture of oxygen and carbon. So helium is just helium; nothing mixed in with it.


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.


Is helium and air a heterogeneous mixture?

No. It will be a homogeneous mixture of gases.


Is it possible to have a mixture of gases?

What is air but a mixture of gasses? Nitrogen, oxygen, helium and a little argon.


What happens when helium combines with oxygen?

Helium doesn't combine with oxygen. Helium is chemically inert because it has completely filled valence orbitals.


What happens when helium is combines with oxygen?

The helium explodes into flames (which quickly die out).
