Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The risk involved in rapid ascending while scuba diving is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The force exerted on the surface of an object per unit area by the weight of air is called the atmospheric pressure.
Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving or swimming for a long time with the help of a tank containing compressed air.

Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen by volume. Assuming you exhale like the average person does during strenuous exercise (that is, you exhale about 1L of air per breath and you exhale 40 breaths per minute) and assuming the dive will take 90 minutes, what volume of oxygen will you end up exhaling?
Explain the risks associated with uncontrolled decompression.
A.) A sample of argon gas at a pressure of 0.831 atm and a temperature of 223 degrees Celsius, occupies a volume of 530 mL. If the gas is heated at constant pressure until it’s volume is 782 mL, the temperature of the gas sample will be ____degrees Celsius.
B.) A sample of helium gas at a pressure of 973 mm Hg and a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius, occupies a volume of 8.29 liters. If the gas is heated at a constant pressure to a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius, the volume of the gas sample will be ____L.
