Some of the most profound statements on the nature of science have come from Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time. What do you think did Einstein mean when he said : "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible"?

You must have had a friend who must have told you to think of a number and do various things to it, and then without knowing your original number, telling you what number you ended up with. Here is one example. Examine why they work. Choose a number. Double it. Add nine. Add your original number. Divide by three. Add four. Subtract your original number. Your result is seven.

You must have had a friend who must have told you to think of a number and do various things to it, and then without knowing your original number, telling you what number you ended up with. Here is one example. Examine why they work. Write down any three-digit number (for example, 425). Make a six-digit number by repeating these digits in the same order (425425). Your new number is divisible by 7, 11 and 13.

Deep sea divers have been using the compressed air containing N_2 in addition to O_2 for breathing. When the sea divers breathes in compressed air at a depth, more N_2 dissolves in the blood and other body fluids than would dissolved at the surface because the pressure at the depth is far greater than surface atmospherice p ressure. when the diver comes towards the surface, the pressure decreases and N_2 comes out of the body quickly forming bubbles in the stream which restrict blood flow and affect the transmission of nerve impuses. this results into a condition called 'the bends' which is dangerous and painful. To avoid this condition, professionals now use air diluted with helium. As a student of chemistry, can you analyse as to why helium is used?
