6. Anyone who scuba dives is advised not to fly within the next 24 hrs. because the air mixture for diving can introduce nitrogen to the bloodstream. Without allowing the nitrogen to come out of solution slowly, any sudden air-pressure reduction (such as during airplane ascent) can result in the nitrogen forming bubbles in the blood, creating the bends, which can be painful and even fatal. Military special operation forces are especially at risk. What is the change in pressure on such a special-op soldier who must scuba dive at a depth of 20 m in seawater one day and parachute at an altitude of 7.6 km the next day? Assume that the average air density within the altitude range is 0.87 kg/m³.

The effect of chlorofluorocarbons (such as CCl2F2) on the depletion of the ozone layer is well known. The use of substitutes, such as CH3CH2F(g), for the chlorofluorocarbons, has largely corrected the problem. Calculate the volume occupied by 10.0 g of each of these compounds at STP: (a) CCl2F2(g) (b) CH3CH2F (g)

For divers going to great depths, the composition of the air in the tank must be modified. The ideal composition is to have approximately the same number of O2 molecules per unit volume as in surface air (to avoid oxygen poisoning), and to use helium instead of nitrogen for the remainder of the gas (to avoid nitrogen narcosis, which results from nitrogen dissolving in the bloodstream). Of the molecules in dry surface air, 78.0% are N2, 21.0% are O2, and 1.00% are Ar. (Assume that the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3 and the temperature is 20.0°C.) Density of dry air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Molar mass of N2 is 14.007 g/mol, O2 is 15.999 g/mol, and Ar is 39.948 g/mol. For a diver going to a depth of 141 m, what percentage of the gas molecules in the tank should be O2?

A comic book scenario: you've been given a 316 g sample of what is claimed to be vibranium taken from Wakanda, which you know has a density of 583 kg/m33. To test this claim, you place the sample in water, which has a density of 1000 kg/m33. What fraction of the sample will be floating above the water if it is truly vibranium?
The most dangerous particles in polluted air are those with diameters less than 2.5 μm because they can penetrate deeply into the lungs. A 15-cm-tall closed container holds a sample of polluted air containing many spherical particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm and a mass of 1.4 x 10-14 kg. How long does it take for all of the particles to settle to the bottom of the container?
The law of atmospheres states that the number density of molecules in the atmosphere depends on height y above sea level according to nV(y)=n0en0gy/kaT where n0 is the number density at sea level (where y = 0). The average height of a molecule in the Earths atmosphere is given by yavg=0ynV(y)dy0nV(y)dy=0yen0gy/kaTdy0en0gy/kaTdy (a) Prove that this average height is equal to kBT/m0g. (b) Evaluate the average height, assuming the temperature is 10.0C and the molecular mass is 28.9 u, both uniform throughout the atmosphere.
