Usually AIR, which is 21% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen...BUT!!!! It could have been used for Nitrox, which is elevated Oxygen, If you dont KNOW for sure what is in it, DUMP the gas and refill the cylinder.
A scuba tank typically holds about 11 liters of air at atmospheric pressure.
Scuba masks do not contain oxygen. Instead, scuba divers rely on a separate piece of equipment called a tank or cylinder to supply compressed air or a breathing gas mixture for underwater breathing. The scuba mask's purpose is to provide a clear field of vision and to create an airspace for the diver's eyes and nose while underwater.
The distance you can go before running out of oxygen depends on factors like your level of physical activity and the volume of oxygen in your tank. On average, a scuba diver with a standard tank can go from 30 minutes to an hour at recreational depths before running out of oxygen. It is essential to monitor your oxygen levels and plan your dive accordingly.
The first functioning oxygen apparatus for scuba diving was created by Yves Le Prieur in France. The unit consisted of a cylinder of air with a pressure regulator, exhaust pipe and a face mask.
Humans breathe pure oxygen in diving suits because that is the gas humans and animals are required to have to stay alive and not suffocate. If a person scuba dives with pure oxygen they should dip a small object in ponaris and rub it on the inside of their nose so the tender skin of the inner nostril doesn't crack and bleed
The numbers on a scuba tank reveal 3 things. Serial no. of the tank. Type metal. and the current hydro date.

The empty weight of a 100 cubic foot steel SCUBA tank is approximately 33lbs.
Depends on the size of the tank.

I would think so, because there are two of them mixed together. Air in a scuba tank or anywhere else should be heterogeneous. A scuba tank filled with either oxygen or nitrogen would be homogeneous.
the silly answer is you can store anything in a scuba tank that you can get in it!!. BUTthe serious answer is scuba tank were designed for compressed air and nothing else... using a scuba tank for natural gas is like driving around with a bomb in your car!!, the valves and collars of the bottles are not strong enough if there was a crash
No.
its the scuba tank on the swimming guys back.
You can use a scuba tank, but that is it.
Different scuba gear types weigh different amounts. The oxygen tank is the heavy part of the scuba diving gear.
