Question

9. Deep sea divers carry oxygen diluted by helium in
cylinders instead of air. Give reasons.
​

Answer 1

Helium doesn't partake in any other chemical reactions i.e. its chemically inert. Helium is also much less soluble in water than many other gases, The low solubility means it does not enter the blood stream and cause fatal damage to the the diver.

Hope this helped! :)
