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?
Options
- AVolume will become greater by a factor of 1.6
- BVolume will become greater by a factor of 1.1
- CVolume will become smaller by a factor of 0.70
- DVolume will become greater by a factor of 2.9
Correct answer
A. Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6
Step-by-step solution
p₁ V₁ T₁ = p₂ V₂ T₂ (By ideal gas equation) or 1.5 V₁ 288 = 1 V₂ 298 V₂=1.55 V₁ i.e., volume of bubble will be almost 1.6 times to initial volume of bubble.
