A diver has a compressed air tank that is initially at . The tank is connected to a regulator such that the diver is breathing in air at 760 mmHg. The diver breathes in 0.50 L of air each breath, and takes about 12 breaths per minute. The diver will need to surface when the tank pressure reaches . The tank is made of thick metal and does not change from initial volume of 11 L. Calculate the amount of time the diver can stay under water, and enter your answer in hours.

9. A scuba diver is in fresh water has an air tank with a volume of 0.0100 m3. The air in the tank is initially at a pressure of 1.00 × 107 Pa. Assume that the diver breathes 0.500 L/s of air. Density of fresh water is 1.00 × 103 kg/m3. How long will the air in the tank last at 17.4 m? Answer is in min
A SCUBA tank, an air tank used for breathing under water, is initially filled with gas at a pressure of 2.2x107 Pa and 24 oC. The tank has a volume of 16.0 L. If the tank will continue to provide air until it reaches a pressure of 2.2x106 Pa, how many moles of gas will it provide to a diver diving in water at 6 oC? Give your answer to at least three significant figures.
Process Design & Control Consider the process of filling a tank with compressed air from a constant pressure supply. Consider the process of filling a tank with compressed air from a constant pressure supply The tank has a volume of 500 ft' and initially is at atmospheric pressure and 75°F. The tank is connected to a high pressure air line that contains a control valve. The valve is quickly opened when the filling process begins, and the flow rate of...
A 2.2-m3 rigid tank initially contains air at 100 kPa and 22°C. The tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. Air is flowing in the supply line at 600 kPa and 22°C. The valve is opened, and air is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. A thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the air temperature at the final state is...
