I've added such references as I thought were relevant - do I now remove the Unreferenced tag?
Is there enough here to remove the diving-stub tag - or is that best left in to encourage further contribution? RexxS ( talk) 02:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
The article states:
"Heliox has been used medically since the 1930s, and . . . its range of medical uses has since expanded greatly, mostly because of the low density of the gas."
I'm neither a chemist nor physicist -- but given a certain amount (mass) of a gas, doesn't its density depend on its volume (or equivalently, on its pressure), either of which is vastly a matter of choice rather than a property of the gas itself? In which case, describing a gas as just plain having a "low density" makes no sense.
Or, what am I missing? Daqu ( talk) 04:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
