Question

A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.87 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 80.0 atm , what was the volume of the sample

Answer 1

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the question that gas is idealso we can use ideal gas equation to solve this;

Assuming that temperature is constant;

Lets
`P_1` and
`V_1` are the initial gas parameter before dropping into the ocean

and
`P_2` and
`V_2` are the final gas parameter after dropping into the ocean

according to boyle 's law pressure is inversly proportional to the volume at constant temperature.

hence,

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

P1=1 atm

V1=1.87L

P2=80atm

V2=?

After putting all values we get;

V2=0.0234L

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L
