Question

A diver has 0.05L of gas in his blood under a pressure of 250 atm. He rises instantaneously to adepth where his blood has a volume of 0.25L. What will be the pressure of the gas in his blood?

Answer 1

Answer:

P₁ = 250 atm

V₁ = 0.05 L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 0.25 L

By Boyle's Law,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Solving the above equation will give us.....

P₂ = 50 atm

∴Pressure of the in his blood = 50 atm
