Question

If a scuba tank contains the equivalent of what would be 2200 L of compressed air at normal pressure (14.7 psi).  What is the internal volume of the scuba tank if that air is actually stored at 3200 psi?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Welcome to bartleby ! 

We have to calculate  internal volume 

Step 2

Explanation :

V1 = 2200L.         V2 = ?

P= 14.7 psi        P2= 3200 psi 

We know that ,

P1V1= P2V2

14.7 psi × 2200 L = V2 × 3200 psi 

Therefore,

V2 = 10.10 L
