Question
A small bubble rises from the bottom of a lake where the temperature and pressure are 6°C and 4 atm. to the water surface, where the temperature is 25°C and pressure is 1 atm. Calculate the final volume in (mL) of the bubble, if its initial volume is 1.5 mL.

Solution
T1 = 6°C + 273 = 279 K
P1 = 4 atm
V1 = 1.5 ml
T2 = 25°C + 273 = 298 K
P2 = 1 atm
V2 = ?
`("P"_1"V"_1)/("T"_1) = ("P"_2"V"_2)/("T"_2)`
V2 = `("P"_1"V"_1)/("T"_1) xx "T"_2/"P"_2`
= `(4 "atm" xx 1.5 "ml" xx 298 "K")/(279 "K" xx 1 "atm")`
V2 = 6.41 ml

A balloon is inflated with helium gas at room temperature of 25°C and at 1 bar pressure when its initial volume is 2.27L and allowed to rise in the air. As it rises in the air external pressure decreases and the volume of the gas increases till finally, it bursts when external pressure is 0.3bar. What is the limit at which the volume of the balloon can stay inflated?
