By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she as-cended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without in-haling or exhaling? If an expansion factor greater than 1.5 causeslung rupture, how far could she safely ascend from 125 ft with-out breathing? Assume constant temperature (d of seawater =1.04 g/mL; d of Hg =13.5 g/mL)

(a) Given that air is 21% oxygen, find the minimum atmospheric pressure that gives a relatively safe partial pressure of oxygen of 0.16 atm. (b) What is the minimum pressure that gives a partial pressure of oxygen above the quickly fatal level of 0.06 atm? (c) The air pressure at the summit of Mount Everest (8848 m) is 0.334 atm.

A popular brand of cola contains 6.50 g of carbon dioxide dissolved in 1.00 L of soft drink. If the evaporating carbon dioxide is trapped in a cylinder at 1.00 atm and 20.0C, what volume does the gas occupy?

Why do the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are much more massive and farther from the Sun than Earth is, contain large amounts of hydrogen and helium?
The pressure exerted by 33 feet of seawater is approximately equivalent to 1 atm. If a group of scuba divers descend 40 feet, calculate the approximate pressure the divers experience at this depth. From this depth, if the divers quickly ascend to the surface without exhaling gas from their lungs, by a factor of what would their lungs increase? Assume constant temperature.
Atmospheric pressure atop Mt. Everest is 3.30×104 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen there if it is 20.9% of the air? (b) What percent oxygen should a mountain climber breathe so that its partial pressure is the same as at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is 1.01×105 N/m2 ? (c) One of the most severe problems for those climbing very high mountains is the extreme drying of breathing passages. Why does this drying occur?
A certain amount of gas at 25°C and at a pressure of 0.800 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Supposethat the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gaswithout bursting the vessel?
A person at rest inhales 0.50 L of air with each breathat a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.0C. The inhaledair is 21.0% oxygen. Given that the body still requires the same number of oxygen molecules per second as at sea level to maintain its functions, explain why some people report “shortness of breath” at high elevations.
A lightweight parachute is being designed for military use. Its diameter D is 20 ft and the total weight W of the falling payload, parachute, and equipment is 145 lbf. The design terminal settling speed Vt of the parachute at this weight is 18 ft/s. A one-twelfth scale model of the parachute is tested in a wind tunnel. The wind tunnel temperature and pressure are the same as those of the prototype, namely 60°F and standard atmospheric pressure. (a) Calculate the drag coefficient of the prototype. (Hint: At terminal settling speed, weight is balanced by aerodynamic drag.) (b) At what wind tunnel speed should the wind tunnel be run in order to achieve dynamic similarity? (c) Estimate the aerodynamic drag of the model parachute in the wind tunnel (in lbf).
