Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.

Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 28P

A scuba tank is filled with air to a gauge pressure of 204 atm when the air temperature is 29°G. A diver then jumps into the ocean and, after a short time on the ocean surface, checks the tank's gauge pressure and finds that it is only 191 atm. Assuming the diver has inhaled a negligible amount of air from the tank, what is the temperature of the ocean water?

The pressure gauge on a tank registers the gauge pressure, which is the difference between the interior pressure and exterior pressure. When the tank is full of oxygen (O2), it contains 11.0 kg of the gas at a gauge pressure of 36.0 atm. Determine the mass of oxygen that has been withdrawn from the tank when the pressure reading is 21.6 atm. Assume the temperature of the tank remains constant.

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the gas to be changed. The tank contains 0.110 m3 of air at a pressure of 0.355 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.390 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?

A diver is at 5 meter depth in a fresh water lake. At that depth, the temperature is 15◦C. The pressure in the water at a depth d is given by p(d) = psurface + ρgd, where ρ is the liquid density, and g = 9.81m s−2is the gravitational constant.(a) The diver releases an air bubble of 1cm diameter. What is the diameter of the bubble when it reaches the surface where the temperature is 20◦C?Assume that the bubble temperature is always the same as the surroundingwater.(b) The diver stayed 1h at a 5m depth. The pressure in the diving tank went down from 250 bars to 50 bars. We assume that the volume of the lungs is 5L. Assuming that the water temperature is also 15◦C, how long could the diver have stayed underwater at 20m depth using the same amount of air?(c) The diver is at 5m depth and decides to surface. The air in the lungs is at a constant temperature of 37◦C. What fraction of the air in her/his lungs should the diver inhale/release to maintain a constant lung volume?
