    Following on from the above diagram, if the exhaled air is breathed out through the mouth in cold and humid conditions, the water vapor will condense into a visible cloud or mist. Inhaled air is by volume 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen and small amounts of other gases including argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and hydrogen. [18]

  3. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Argon has approximately the same solubility in water as oxygen and is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. [11] Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature.

  4. Breathing gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_gas

    A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas. Other mixtures of gases, or pure oxygen, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats such as scuba equipment, surface supplied diving equipment, recompression chambers, high-altitude mountaineering, high-flying aircraft, submarines ...

    The cold water can cause heart attack due to severe vasoconstriction, [2] where the heart has to work harder to pump the same volume of blood throughout the arteries. For people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease , the additional workload can result in myocardial infarction and/or acute heart failure , which ultimately may lead to a ...

  9. Argon compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon_compounds

    Argon dissolved in water causes the pH to rise to 8.0, [81] apparently by reducing the number of oxygen atoms available to bind protons. [82] With ice, argon forms a clathrate hydrate. Up to 0.6 GPa, the clathrate has a cubic structure. Between 0.7 and 1.1 GPa the clathrate has a tetragonal structure.
