A spherical bubble rises from the bottom of a lake whose temperature is 6 oC at the bottom and 24 oC at the surface. If the bubble doubles its volume by the time it reaches the surface, how deep is the lake?
given
initial
tempereature T1 = 60C =
279 k
pressure P1 = rho g h1
volume = V1
final
Temperature T2 = 240C=
297 k
pressure P2 = ro g h2 = rho g *1
volume V2 = 2V1
from ideal gas equationn
PV =nRT
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
rho *g *h1* V1 /279 = rho* g* 1 *2V1 / 297
h1/279 = 2/297
h1 = 2*279 /(297)
h1 = 1.8787 m
so depth of the lake is 1.8787 m
