A bubble of air is underwater at temperature 15\ ^{}^{\circ}\text{C} and the pressure . If the bubble rises to the surface where the temperature is 25\ ^{}^{\circ}\text{C} and the pressure is , what will happen to the volume of the bubble?
Options
- AVolume will become greater by a factor of .
- BVolume will become greater by a factor of
- CVolume will become smaller by a factor of
- DVolume will become greater by a factor of
Correct answer
A. Volume will become greater by a factor of .
Step-by-step solution
Let the initial volume of the bubble be .
Initial conditions (underwater):
T_1 = 15\ ^{}^{\circ}\text{C} = 15 + 273 = 288\ \text{K}
Final conditions (at the surface):
T_2 = 25\ ^{}^{\circ}\text{C} = 25 + 273 = 298\ \text{K}
Using the combined gas law equation:
Substituting the given values:
The volume will become greater by a factor of .
Answer: Volume will become greater by a factor of .
