BIO 360 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Diving Chamber, Unconsciousness
Document Summary
Gas laws helium (when used in diving gas (henrys law) higher air pressure in lungs ; gases such as nitrogen , mixtures) and oxygen become increasingly soluble in the blood . (as pressure increases , solubility of gas increases) C-kpgas p retention ( = solubility of a gas in a solvent at a specific temperature. Ascending to the surface slowly (rate of 60ft 1min) slower dive = slower excess nitrogen equilibrated ilower impact) spending time in a decompression chamber. Oxygen (metabolized ) ; nitrogen and helium buildup throughout the body . When divers emerge from the water , they have to make sure they dont ascend to the surface level too quickly because they risk numerous bubbles forming as nitrogen / helium re - equilibrates. Ex: when a pressurized bottle of soda is suddenly opened. Nitrogen gas forms bubbles, ( solubility of a gas) ability for gas to dissolve in a solvent .
