Q

Kinetic molecular theory
(Idealized picture of molecules of gases)

A
  1. Gases consist of particles, either atoms or molecules, constantly moving through space in straight lines, random direction, and various speeds
  2. The average kinetic energy of gss particles is proportional to temperature in kelvins
  3. Molecules collide with each other. Each time they collide, they may exchange kinetic energy but the total kinetic energy of the gas sample remains the same
  4. Gas particles have no volume
  5. There are no attractive forces between gas particles
  6. Molecules collide with the walls of the container, and these collisions constitute the pressure of a gas

Scuba diving and gas laws

A

•Application of Boyle’s Law
33 ft of seawater = 1 atm pressure
⬆️ Pressure ⬆️ Depth
-divers must ascend slowly to adjust to decreasing pressure
-otherwise, rupture membranes of lungs due to air expansion; OR air embolism (air forced into capillaries, blocking normal blood flow) resulting to lost of consciousness

•Application of partial pressure
-body functions best when
PO2 = 0.20 atm
-when diver submerged, pressure of water on diver is greater than atmospheric pressure
-special valve adjusts pressure air breathed from scuba tank to ensure air pressure = water pressure all times (adjusts oxygen content in air breathed in terms of %volume) -otherwise, body cavities like lungs and sinuses will collpase
