how to calculate celsius to fahrenheit - ANSWER-(°C x 1.8) + 32 = °F
How to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius - ANSWER-(°F - 32) / 1.8 = °C
the temperature outside is 18 °C. What would that equal in Fahrenheit - ANSWER-(18 *
1.8) + 32
(32.4) + 32=
64.4 °F

, Which gas law can cause the bends or decompression sickness? - ANSWER-Henry's
Law
Gases diffuse from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is which
gas law? - ANSWER-Graham's Law
This gas law is an example of the ongoing process of the diffusion of oxygen and

gas law is this? - ANSWER-Graham's Law
gas bubbles coming out of exposed grey matter when at altitude is an example of which
gas law? - ANSWER-Graham's Law
Which gas explains why you get hypoxic when you increase in altitude? - ANSWER-
Dalton's Law
Dalton's Law can be remembered by the phrase "Daltons Gang" because? - ANSWER-
Oxygen molecules that were "ganged up" at lower altitudes spread apart at higher
altitudes, making less oxygen available for breathing.
