Chapter 10, Problem 99AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two different pressure values of the gas bubble and the volume of the gas at one of the pressure is given. The volume at the other pressure value is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The ideal gas equation is given by the formula,

$PV=nRT$

Where,

• $n$ is the number of moles of the gas.
• $P$ is the absolute pressure of the gas.
• $V$ is the volume of the gas.
• $T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas.
• $R$ is the gas constant

Thus, pressure is inversely proportional to the volume for the given moles of gas at constant temperature.

To determine: The volume of gas bubble on the surface of the lake at $760\text{torr}$ .
