A balloon filled with an ideal gas is taken from the surface of the sea to the depth of 100m. What will be the volume in terms of its original volume?
Pressure at surface of sea = 760 mm Hg
= 1033.3 cm H2O
= 10.3 m H2O
Pressure at 100 m depth = 100 + 10.3 = 110.3 m H2O
Assuming temperature to constant,
P1V1 (at surface) = P2V2 (at 100 m depth)
10.3 x V1 = 110.3 x V2
V2 = 0.093 V1
= 9.3% of V1.
