1. In order to prevent the condition called "bends". He needs to calculate the Molar Mass of the mixture of 10.0% 02, 10.0 % N2 and 80 % He.

So the Answer is letter A. Calculate the molar mass of this mixture.

How to calculate:

Given Numbers : 10.0 % O2

10.0% N2

80 % He

Molar Mass = (.10 x 32g / mol.) + (.10 x 28g / mol.) + (.80 x 4g / mol.)

=> 9.2g / mol.
