An air bubble has a volume of 1.3 cm3 when it is released by a submarine 160 m below the surface of a freshwater lake. What is the volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface? Assume that the temperature and the number of air molecules in the bubble remain constant during the ascent.

V2 = 21.44cm^3

Explanation:

Given that: the initial volume of the bubble = 1.3 cm^3

Depth = h = 160m

Where P2 is the atmospheric pressure = Patm

P1 is the pressure at depth 'h'

Density of water = ρ = 10^3kg/m^3

Patm = 1.013×10^5 Pa.

Patm = 101300Pa

g = 9.81m/s^2

P1 = P2+ρgh

P1 = Patm +ρgh

P1 = 1.013×10^5+10^3×9.81×160.

P1 = 101300+1569600

P1 = 1670900 Pa

For an ideal gas law

PV =nRT

P1V1/P2V2 = 1

V2 = ( P1/P2)V1

V2 = (P1/Patm)V1

V2 = ( 1670900 /101300 Pa) × 1.3

V2 = 1670900/101300

V2 = 16.494×1.3

V2 = 21.44cm^3

this one:

as we gain mass the force of gravity on us increases.
