Video transcript

Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us to choose the best solvent for calcium chloride from the following and stay. It's solid solvent interaction with calcium chloride, and our options are water, chloroform, ethanol or benzene. So calcium chloride is eye on it, meaning it will be very soluble in a polar solvent. The most polar solvent in the table is water. So that is our first answer now for the solute solvent interaction. The solute solvent interaction is polar plus ionic compound, so that is an ion di pole interaction. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

Scuba divers breathing air at increased pressure can suffer from oxygen toxicity—too much oxygen in their bloodstream— when the partial pressure of oxygen exceeds about 1.4 atm. What happens to the amount of oxygen in a diver's bloodstream when he or she breathes oxygen at elevated pressures? How can this be reversed?
