Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.54AP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why the air in a scuba tank must be pressurized for a deep sea diver to breathe while underwater.
Introduction:
Scuba diving is a type of underwater diving. In this, the diver contains a “self-contained underwater breathing apparatus” (scuba). Scuba divers contain their own tank which is filled with the breathing gas that helps them to breathe underwater. Scuba contain diving cylinder through which breathing gas (oxygen) passes to the driver and exhaled gas (carbon dioxide) is discharged into the environment.
