Question
Freediving is an activity in which a person dives, sometimes to great depth, without the use of scuba gear. The diver must hold his or her breath for the duration of the dive. The record depth, with no equipment such as diving fins, is 101 m; the official record time is over 11 minutes. Historically, freediving has been used by pearl divers and sponge divers.
Some freedivers hyperventilate (breathe rapidly and deeply) before diving. Hyperventilation can change the concentration of CO2CO2 in the blood and may increase the length of time that a person feels like he or she can hold his or her breath.
How does hyperventilation affect blood pH?
- It increases CO2CO2 and H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH.
- It increases CO2CO2 and decreases H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH.
- It decreases CO2CO2 and H+H+ in the blood, increasing pH.
- It decreases CO2CO2 and increases H+H+ in the blood, decreasing pH.

- An atom of argon has a radius Ar = 71. pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 249.m/s. Suppose the speed of an argon atom at 25°C has been measured to within 1.0%. Calculate the smallest possible length of box inside of which the atom could be known to be located with certainty. Write your answer as a multiple of Ar and round it to 2 significant figures. For example, if the smallest box the atom could be in turns out to be 42.0 times the radius of an atom of argon, you would enter "42. Ar" as your answer.
