Gay-Lussac's law (in scuba diving) is important to understand because when we start
increasing the pressure in a scuba tank (during a refill at the scuba shop), the tank will
get ____ during the refill, then ____ while it sits at room temperature. This will cause the
pressure of gas in the cylinder to________. - Answers -Warmer; cool; decrease
Gay-Lussac's law (in scuba diving) is important to understand because when we let a
full scuba cylinder lay in the sun and heat up, the pressure in the tank will ________.
this could potentially cause ______ - Answers -Increase; the scuba cylinder to rupture.

lid.
Henry's law is involved in: - Answers -Oxygen toxicity, Nitrogen narcosis,
Decompression sickness (not increased intracranial pressure)

dissolving oxygen in the plasma of the blood after all red blood cells had been removed
was done by? - Answers -Boerema in 1960 Think Boer for pig study!
