It definitely would. Also, a tank filled with non-compressed air would be nearly impossible to use because air wouldn't flow out of it without an enormous amount of effort. For these reasons, all tanks used by divers are filled with compressed air.

How do divers use gas?

Some diver use nitrogen to stay underwater for longer but usually compressed air is usedfor those who don't use nitrogen


Why does the oxygen need to be comressed in a divers tank?

Oxygen needs to be compressed in a diver's tank to increase the amount of oxygen that can be stored in the tank. Compressing the gas allows divers to carry enough oxygen to sustain them while underwater for a longer period of time without the tank becoming too large and unwieldy.


Why did Jacques cousteau invent the aqualung?

Jacques Cousteau invented the Aqua-Lung to allow divers to explore underwater for longer periods without needing to surface frequently for air. This invention revolutionized underwater exploration by providing divers with the ability to breathe underwater using compressed air tanks.


Will car tires filled with nitrogen gas ride harder than those filled with air?

No, tires filled with nitrogen gas will not ride harder than those filled with regular air. The main benefit of nitrogen is maintaining tire pressure for longer periods and reducing the risk of corrosion and temperature-related pressure fluctuations. The ride quality will not be affected by the type of gas used to inflate the tires.


How can you relate temperature and volume with pressure?

if you have a closed bottle or can, etc. , of water and you heat it up to a high enough temperature, then pressure builds up, right? Well if the container is filled with water then the pressure will build up faster, causing the container to burst, but if the container is only filled maybe halfway, it will take a little longer for the pressure to build up enough to cause the container to burst.


Why A balloon filled hydrogen rises to a certain height stops rising why?

A balloon filled with hydrogen rises until it reaches a level in the atmosphere where the air pressure outside the balloon is equal to the pressure inside the balloon. At this point, the balloon stops rising because the difference in pressure is no longer enough to overcome the force of gravity pulling it downward.


What purpose does an Air Pressure Gauge serve?

An air pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure of air in a system, such as a tire or a compressed air tank. It helps ensure that the air pressure is at the correct level for optimal performance and safety.


Why cant a substance no longer be compressed when changes from gas to liquid?

A lquid has a more compact structure.


Why does a balloon pop when filled with air?

A balloon pops when filled with air beyond its capacity because the pressure inside the balloon increases to a point where the balloon material can no longer contain it, causing it to burst. The material weakens or breaks due to the stretching forces applied by the increasing pressure, resulting in the balloon popping.


How does a diving bell work and what is its primary function in underwater exploration?

A diving bell is a chamber that traps air, allowing divers to breathe and work underwater. It is lowered from a ship and creates an air pocket for divers to enter and exit. The primary function of a diving bell in underwater exploration is to provide a safe environment for divers to work at greater depths for longer periods of time.


Why was the Tower of London moat filled in?

Because it was no longer needed for defensive purposes.


Do you have to change the water pressure tank when is filled with water?

The pressure tank is supposed to have an air pocket in it. The air is contained inside a bladder like an inner tube. When the the bladder fails the air is absorbed into the water and the pressure tank no longer does it job and must be replaced to prevent damage. The most commonly ruined item by this failure is the water pump on your system.
