you are swimming in the ocean, breathing trimix, a special mixture of oxygen, helium and nitrogen for deep-sea diving. this particular mixture is 26.6% oxygen, 12.7% helium and 60.7% nitrogen (my moles).

a. if the pressure in the full 8.00-L scuba tank is 3000. psi at 22 degrees C, and if you consume 0.100 mol of oxygen per minutes, how long can you stay under water using the tank?

b. you dive down from the warm air to 148 ft. under water, where the water is 4.0 degrees C. when you swim back up to the surface (which is 30.5 degrees C), you fill your lungs (volume 5.25 L) halfway, will your lungs explode (exceed their total volume) on the way, or will you made it?
