What else can I help you with?
Is the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank an example of a homogeneous mixture?
Yes, the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank would be considered a homogeneous mixture because they are evenly distributed throughout the tank and have uniform properties throughout.
Is the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank a pure substance?
No it is not,. They use a membrane system to produce and mix the air before that they used to partial fill and and roll the tanks on the floor to get them to blend.
Is the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank a compound or heterogeneous?
The oxygen and helium in a scuba tank are considered a homogeneous mixture, not a compound or a heterogeneous mixture. In this case, the gases are mixed together uniformly, and their individual properties remain unchanged. A compound consists of two or more elements chemically bonded together, while a heterogeneous mixture would have distinct, separate components.
How much oxygen does a scuba tank provide?
Firstly, tanks rarely provide oxygen - they usually provide simple air or other breathable gas. Pure oxygen would kill you if you breathed it deeper than about 30 feet.Second, the average scuba tank holds the equivalent of about 80 cubic feet of gas under pressure. At the surface that would be enough to breathe off for about three hours for an everage person. But the deeper you go, the faster you consume gas because you breathe it under greater pressure.
Why should a filled scuba tank never be left in a hot car for an extended period of time?
Worst case scenario, the cylinder threads fail, shooting the valve off. If the cylinder was laying on its side, it would turn into a rocket. It would have enough force to EASILY go through a concrete wall, and start going through another (thank you Mythbusters!).Keep in mind, an 80 cu ft. SCUBA cylinder filled to 3,000 psi of compressed air, has 1.3 MILLION foot-pounds of kinetic energy. I, for one, do not want to be around it when it is all released at once. A: Far more likely, the Burst Disk would rupture and make a hell of a noise. Burst Disks are small copper-foil (or similar) sheets that are intended to break and vent air when and if the tank over-pressurizes. They're noisy but harmless. =====Ah, a very good point. I was thinking worst case scenario ... old tank that didn't have the burst disk. I should mention that for this to happen, the scuba tank would be well out of certification (both annual visual inspection and five-year hydrostatic testing). Most modern scuba tanks do have these burst disks that are designed just for this purpose. In fact, it's difficult to get the parts to service the older style scuba tanks anymore.
How much does a scuba tank weigh when filled?
Depends on the size of the tank.
How much does a filled scuba tank weigh?
Depends on the size of the tank.
How much does it cost to refill a scuba tank in new zealand?
21.
How much does scuba gear weigh?
Different scuba gear types weigh different amounts. The oxygen tank is the heavy part of the scuba diving gear.
How much does and aluminum 60 scuba tank weigh?
about 32 pounds empty
What do the numbers mean on a scuba tank?
The numbers on a scuba tank reveal 3 things. Serial no. of the tank. Type metal. and the current hydro date.
How can a scuba-diver breath underwater?
From a regulator attached to a scuba tank.
What is Weight of steel 100 scuba tank?
The empty weight of a 100 cubic foot steel SCUBA tank is approximately 33lbs.
How many liters of air are in a scuba tank at atmospheric pressure?
A scuba tank typically holds about 11 liters of air at atmospheric pressure.
Is the oxygen and nitrogen in a scuba tank considered a heterogeneous?
I would think so, because there are two of them mixed together. Air in a scuba tank or anywhere else should be heterogeneous. A scuba tank filled with either oxygen or nitrogen would be homogeneous.
You want to convert a SCUBA tank for use as CNG tank?
the silly answer is you can store anything in a scuba tank that you can get in it!!. BUTthe serious answer is scuba tank were designed for compressed air and nothing else... using a scuba tank for natural gas is like driving around with a bomb in your car!!, the valves and collars of the bottles are not strong enough if there was a crash
Can you scuba dive with a pure oxygen tank?
No.
