A bubble of air is underwater at temperature `15^(@)C` and the pressure `1.5` bar. If the bubble rises to the surface where the temperature is `25^(@)C` and the pressure is `1.0` bar, what will happen to the volume of the bubble?

A

Volume will become smaller by a factor of 0.70

B

Volume will become greater by a factor of 2.5

C

Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6

D

Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(P_1V_1)/(T_1) = (P_2V_2)/(T_2)`
`(1.5 xx V)/(288) = (1 xx V_2)/(298)`
`V_2 = 1.55V` i.e., volume of bubble will be almost 1.6 time to initial volume of bubble.

What will happen to volume of a bubble of air found under water in a lake where temperature is 15^(@)C and the pressure is 1.5 atm, if the bubble rises to the surface where the temperature is 25^(@)C and the pressure is 1.0 atm?

A small bubble rises from the bottom of a lake, where the temperature and pressure are 8^(@)C and 6.0 atm , to the water's surface, where the temperature is 25^(@)C and pressure is 1.0 atm . Calculate the final volume of the bubble if its initial volume was 2mL .

A small bubble rises from the bottom of a lake, where the temperature and pressure are 8^(@) C and 6.4 atm , to the surface of the water , where the temperature is 25^(@) C and pressure is 1.0 atm . Calculate the final volume ("in mL") of the bubble if its initial volume was 2.1 mL . Strategy : The amount of gas in the bubble remains constant (n_(1) = n_(2)) but there is a change in all the three quantities p , V , and T . This suggests that we use the combined gas law. We tabulate what is known and what is asked for , solve the combined gas law for the unknown quantity V_(2) and substitute the known values.
