Given,
Radius of the bubble at the bottom of lake,
r1=3.62 mm=1.8 mm
Radius of the bubble at the surface of lake,
r2=42 mm=2 mm
Depth of the lake, H=250 cm,
At the bottom of the lake, volume of the bubble
V1=43πr31=43π(0.18)3 cm3
Pressure on the bubble p1= Atmospheric pressure + Pressure due to column of 250 cm of water
p1=76×13.6×980+250×1×980
⇒p1=(76×13.6+250)980 dyne/cm2
At the surface of the lake, volume of the bubble
V2=43πr32=43π(0.2)3 cm3
Pressure on the bubble,
p2 = atomspheric pressure
⇒p2=(76×13.6×980) dyne/cm2
Temperature, T2=273+40=313 K
Now from ideal gas equation, we have
p1V1T1=p2V2T2
Substituting the values, we get
(76×13.6+250)980×43π(0.18)3T1=(76×13.6)×980(43)π(0.2)3313
⇒T1=283.37K
∴T1=283.37−273=10.37 ∘C≈10 ∘C
Hence, temperature at the bottom of the lake is approximately 10 ∘C.
