Question
Chapter 18, Problem 61E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way by which following events are chemically related should be described.
In natural waters, nitrogen and phosphorus are present which are available for plant life. Some water which becomes polluted due to agricultural runoff or municipal sewage becomes infested with algae. The algae grow and result in destruction of fish life.
Concept Introduction:
A rapid increase in the population of algae in natural water systems is known as algae bloom. This is the major factors which affect the life of fish or destroy the fish life. Due to algae bloom, the amount of oxygen in water decreases which is essential for the survival of fishes.

Hint
Assistance Used
Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.
Set up P,V1- P2V2 and solve for V2 after you determine the pressure at 180 feet below the surface.
