What is a pure gas?
When it has no other gasses mixed with it. For example, we breathe oxygen, but we do not breathe pure oxygen because it is mixed with nitrogen.
Explain why the pilot can breathe pure oxygen without negative side effects?
Pure oxygen is very harmful to humans at pressures higher than ground level, with the effects becoming worse the higher the pressure - ie. when scuba diving. At lower pressures, such as the cockpit of a plane at altitude, pure oxygen becomes much safer to breathe, to the point some astronauts have breathed it for around 2 weeks (at low pressure) with no detrimental effects.
Why is pure oxygen used in oxygen tents to speed up the recovery of patients in hospital?
Pure oxygen is used in oxygen tents to increase the concentration of oxygen in the air that the patient breathes. This higher concentration of oxygen can help improve oxygen delivery to tissues, supporting the body's healing processes. It can be particularly beneficial for patients with respiratory conditions or those experiencing low oxygen levels.
Where do lugs get oxygen and release carbon dioxide to?
when you breathe in, you breathe in oxygen and when you breathe out, its carbon dioxide
When you inhale you take in?
When some people think of the air we breathe, the first thing that comes to mind is oxygen. While oxygen is the essential component of all breathing gases, the air around us is not pure oxygen. When you inhale, or breathe in, the air is roughly 78% (by volume) nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases. When you exhale, or breathe out, the air coming out of your lungs is 4% to 5% carbon dioxide and 4% to 5% less oxygen than was inhaled (So, about 16% oxygen). You also breath out about 5% water vapor and other mentioned gases. If you're wondering why we can't just breath pure oxygen, it's because our reliance on this relatively small amount of oxygen can cause over activity or euphoria in pure or oxygen rich environments.
Is oxygen useful or harmful?
It is useful because we can breathe it.
Are oxygen tanks used for breathing 100 oxygen?
No, oxygen tanks typically contain compressed or liquid oxygen that is a higher concentration than the ambient air we breathe (which is about 21% oxygen). However, it is not 100% pure oxygen as that can be harmful and pose a fire hazard.
Is the air we breathe pure oxygen?
No. It is only about 21% oxygen. Air is about 78% nitrogen.
Can humans breathe oxygen and hydrogen combine?
Humans cannot breathe a combination of pure oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is necessary for respiration, but hydrogen is highly flammable and not suitable for breathing. Mixing the two gases is dangerous and can create a potential explosion hazard.
What is a pure gas?
When it has no other gasses mixed with it. For example, we breathe oxygen, but we do not breathe pure oxygen because it is mixed with nitrogen.
Do cows breath out oxygen?
Yes, but in the form of carbon dioxide, with contains two atoms of oxygen and one of carbon. Cows don't breathe out the pure form of oxygen; they breathe in oxygen as well as nitrogen from the atmosphere.
How much pure oxygen does it take to kill you?
somr people may say not much but that's a lie hospital use pure oxygen for life support you can breathe in pure oxygen for 12 years strait and not die
Why pure oxygen is harmful?
Pure oxygen can be harmful when inhaled at high concentrations because it can lead to oxygen toxicity. Oxygen toxicity can cause lung damage, seizures, and other serious health problems. It is important to use oxygen as directed by a healthcare professional to avoid these potential risks.
Explain why the pilot can breathe pure oxygen without negative side effects?
Pure oxygen is very harmful to humans at pressures higher than ground level, with the effects becoming worse the higher the pressure - ie. when scuba diving. At lower pressures, such as the cockpit of a plane at altitude, pure oxygen becomes much safer to breathe, to the point some astronauts have breathed it for around 2 weeks (at low pressure) with no detrimental effects.
Why cant you have an atmosphere made up of pure oxygen?
Because too much oxygen is harmful to the environment.
What are two uses for oxygen therapy equipment?
There is high concentrated oxygen treatments, or there is the standard oxygen treatments. The high concentrated is almost pure oxygen, people like doctors and scuba divers breathe pure oxygen almost every day.
Does the space station have to fill up with air or oxygen?
It is filled with air, as prolonged exposure to pure oxygen is harmful to humans.
