Answer:
Because of its low solubility (as compared to N2) in blood, a mixture of oxygen and helium is used in diving apparatus used by deep sea divers. Air contains a large amount of nitrogen and the solubility of gases in liquids increases with increase in pressure. ... This is done as He is sparingly less soluble in blood.
