A bubble of air is underwater at temperature and the pressure 1.5bar. If the bubble rises to the surface where the temperature is and the pressure is 1.0 bar, What will happen to the volume of the bubble?
Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6
Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.1
Volume will become smaller by a factor of 0.70
Volume will become greater by a factor of 2.5
Ideal Gas Law -
- wherein
P - Pressure
V - Volume
n - No. of Moles
R - Gas Constant
T - Temperature
We know that from ideal gas equation
given K= 288K,
= 293 K,
Option 1)
Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6
This is correct answer
Option 2)
Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.1
This is incorrect answer
Option 3)
Volume will become smaller by a factor of 0.70
This is incorrect answer
Option 4)
Volume will become greater by a factor of 2.5
This is incorrect answer
