Question

Estimate the volume of your lungs at 100 m below sea level. (Hint: Assume that the number of air particles, N, does not change as you descend.)

 

kb=1.380 x 10^23 J/K

 

p = Kb(NT)/V

The following graphs show temperature at various depths in the ocean. Imagine that you model your lungs as a 5 L sealed balloon at sea level. Depth (km) Depth (km) 1.0 1.0 0.8 0.8 0.6 0.6 0.4 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.0 270 0.0 280 290 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Temperature (K) Pressure (atm) Assume that the temperature of your body will adjust to the surrounding temperature as you descend. Keep in mind that, in general, your breathing adjusts to keep the same number of particles of air in your lungs at different depths.
