Chapter 9, Problem 124QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for smaller gas bubbles at the bottom of a fish tank is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Boyle’s law gives a relation between the pressure and the volume of the gas at constant temperature. The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at a fixed temperature and amount of gas.

$\begin{array}{l}P\propto \frac{1}{V}\\ P=\frac{k}{V}\end{array}$
