Question

Need this answered in significant figures

A scuba diver carries a small balloon of air deep underwater. If the balloon
has a volume of 2.11 L at the surface, where the pressure is 102 kPa, what will
the pressure be when the balloon has shrunk to a size of 0.581 L? Assume that
the balloon's temperature remains the same throughout its descent.

Expert Solution

Boyle's law

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, pressure is inversely related to the volume of a gas. It can be represented as follows:

P~1/V

=> PV = constant (at constant T)

The relationship for a gas with two different volumes and at two different pressure can be written as follows:

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂ ••••••(1)

Here, P₁is pressure of gas at first condition, V₁is volume of gas at first condition, P₂is pressure of gas at second condition and V₂is volume of gas at second condition.
