Chapter 6, Problem 6.50QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The world-record for diving without supplemental air-tanks at a depth of $125\text{m}$ is given. The volume of lungs of a diver at a distance of $125\text{m}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: According to the Boyle’s law, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to volume at the constant temperature and for fixed moles of gas.

To determine: The volume of lungs of a diver at a distance of $125\text{m}$.
