By what factor would a scuba diver's lungs expand if she ascended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 134.5 ft without inhaling or exhaling? If an expansion factor greater than 1.65 causes lung rupture, how far could she safely ascend from 134.5 ft without breathing? Assume constant temperature (d of seawater =1.01 g/mL; d of Hg = 13.456 g/mL). Hint: The pressure at the surface is 1.00atm

Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.
