Question 11

Gas Laws: A balloon is carefully filled with one breath of air (about 500ml) underwater at
a depth of 100ft, then tied shut. At this depth, the balloon is under 4 atmospheres of
pressure. Assuming negligible compression by the rubber of the balloon, what is the
volume of the air (in m³) once the balloon rises to the surface of the water and
experiences 1 atm of pressure? Modify the Ideal Gas Law to solve this conservation
problem.
1 Liter 0.001 Cubic Meter
1 atm = 1.01x 105 Pascals
