Best Answer

Offgassing occurs when comets, meteors, meteorites etc. are heated by an outside force (such as the sun or the atmosphere of a planet.)
This heating causes the frozen gasses and particles of the object to vaporize, creating the clouds of gas and particles that surround comets and make them visible.

Why does scuba diving advised not to stay down to long?

Because you'll run out of air?Seriously though, you can only stay at certain depths for a certain amount of time due to the amount of Nitrogen (N2) and Oxygen (O2) you absorb as you dive. The deeper you dive, the more gasses you absorb.Raised levels of N2 can lead to Nitrogen Narcosis, which in itself is thought to be harmless, it can cause divers to do things that lead to accidents, some fatal. Also, the more N2 in your body, the higher the chances of getting DCS as you surface, which is why you need to offgas as you surface, surface slowly and offgas in between dives.Raised levels of O2 can lead to oxygen toxcity, which can lead to death.Best stay safe and stay within limits of tables or your dive computer and only dive to the depths you are trained ad insured to dive to.


Is NH4OH a solid?

NO. NH4OH is formed when Ammonia Gas (NH3) combines with water in solution : NH3(g) + H2O(l) <=> NH4OH(aq) There is no solid form in the normal environment. When the solution reaches saturation, NH3 will begin to offgas until equillibrium is reached. This is true for the "normal" world of chemistry. I have no idea whether exotic environments could be created where NH4OH would crystalize, but it will not in your home lab. experiment: pour a shot of unscented household ammonia (NH4OH) into a cup and leave it out until the liquid has evaporated. Or boil it in an appropriate vessel (Don't use aluminum)

How do you determine end point of a reaction?

The endpoint of a reaction can be determined using various methods such as visual indicators, pH meters, or instrumental methods like spectroscopy. Generally, the endpoint corresponds to a noticeable change in a property that signals the completion of a reaction, such as a color change in a titration involving an indicator. It is important that the chosen method is suitable for detecting the specific reaction being monitored.
