A bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 116 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm. Initially, the bubble has a volume of 10.0 mL. Assuming none of the air dissolves in the water, how many times larger is the bubble just as it reaches the surface?

A bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 116 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm. Initially, the
bubble has a volume of 10.0 mL. Assuming none of the air dissolves in the water. how many times larger is the bubble just as it reaches
the surface?
Use this data:
1. The density of seawater is approximately 1.025 g mL
2. The density of mercury is 13.6 g mL
times larger
Use your answer to explain why scuba divers constantly exhale as they slowly rise from a deep dive.
Since the pressure
v by a factor of approximatelyi
the volume must
v by a
factor of approximately i
Divers exhale to
the amount of gas in their lungs, so it does not
V to a volume
than the
diver's lungs.
