Chapter 6, Problem 6.85AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of the air occupies at the surface of water and the reason why scuba divers are advised to exhale slowly as he ascends has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s Law:

At constant temperature, the pressure and the volume of the gas are inversely related.

  $\text{PV=K}$

Where P is pressure.

V is volume of the gas at constant temperature.

K is the constant.

The volume or pressure of the gas can be calculated using the relation.

  ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{=P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$

Where ${\text{P}}_{\text{1}}\text{\&}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}$ are pressure and volume of gas at initial state.

${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}\text{\&}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$ are pressure and volume of gas at final state.
