Question

A scuba diver takes a 2.3 L balloon from the surface, where the pressure is 1.1 atm and the temperature is 34 C, to a depth of 30 m , where the pressure is 4.0 atm and the temperature is 15 C.

Part A

What is the volume of the balloon at this depth? express your answer using two significant figures

A scuba diver takes a 2.3 L balloon from the surface, where the pressure is 1.1 atm and the temperature is 34 C, to a depth of 30 m , where the pressure is 4.0 atm and the temperature is 15 C.

Part A

What is the volume of the balloon at this depth? express your answer using two significant figures

Explanation / Answer

we have:

P1 = 1.1 atm

P2 = 4.0 atm

V1 = 2.3 L

T1 = 34.0 oC

= (34.0+273) K

= 307 K

T2 = 15.0 oC

= (15.0+273) K

= 288 K

we have below equation to be used:

(P1*V1)/(T1) = (P2*V2)/(T2)

(1.1 atm*2.3 L)/(307.0 K) = (4.0 atm*V2)/(288.0 K)

V2 = 0.59 L

Answer: 0.59 L
