Explain the risks associated with uncontrolled decompression.
If a scuba diver inhales 0.50 L of air at a depth of 100. ft and 4.0 atm pressure, what volume does this air occupy at the surface of the water, assuming air pressure is 1.0 atm? When a scuba diver must make a rapid ascent to the surface, he is told to exhale slowly as he ascends. How does your result support this recommendation?
The hydrostatic pressure on a diver's lungs is 1 atm at the surface and increases by 1 atm for each additional 10 m below the surface. Which of the following ascents poses the gravest danger to a diver holding his or her breath? (Think carefully about the relative changes in volume as the pressure changes for each transition)
10 m --> 0 m
40 m --> 20 m
60 m --> 40 m
