    What will happen to the volume of a bubble of air found under water in a lake, where the temperature is \[{{15}^{o}}C\] and the pressure is 1.5 atm, if the bubble then rises to the surface where the temperature is \[{{25}^{o}}C\]and the pressure is 1.0 atm?

    A)  Its volume will become greater by a factor of 2.5

    B)  Its Volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6

    C)  Its volume will become greater by a factor of 1.1

    D)  Its volume will become smaller by a factor of 0.70

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let volume of air bubble under water = V Volume of bubble at surface \[={{V}_{1}}\] Given, temperature under water, \[{{T}_{1}}=15+273=288\,K\] pressure under water, \[{{p}_{1}}=1.5\]atm temperature at surface, \[{{T}_{2}}=25+273=298\,K\] pressure at the surface, \[{{p}_{2}}=1.0\] atm We know that, \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\] On putting values, we get \[\frac{1.5\times V}{288}=\frac{1.0\times {{V}_{1}}}{298}\] or \[\frac{V}{{{V}_{1}}}=\frac{288\times 1.0}{298\times 1.5}\] \[\frac{V}{{{V}_{1}}}=0.64\] or \[{{V}_{1}}=\frac{V}{0.64}\] = 1.64 V Thus, the volume will become greater by a factor of 1.6.
