Question
An air bubble of radius 2.0 mm is formed at the bottom of a 3.3 m deep river. Calculate the radius of the bubble as it comes to the surface. Atmospheric pressure = 1.0 × 105 Pa and density of water = 1000 kg m−3.

Solution
Here,
\[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3}\pi {(2.0 \times {10}^{-3 })}^3 \]
h = 3.3 m
P1 = Po + ρgh
⇒ P1 = 1.0 × 105 + 1000 × 9.8 × 3.3
⇒ P1 = 1.32 × 105 Pa
P2 = 1.0 × 105 Pa
Since temperature remains the same, applying Boyle's law we get
P1 V1 = P2 V2
⇒ V2 = \[ \frac {P_1 V_1}{P_2} \]
⇒ V2 = \[ \frac{1.32 × {10}^5 × \frac{4}{3}\pi {(2.0 ×{10}^{-3} )}^3}{1.0 × {10}^5} \]
Let R2 be the new radius. Then,
\[ \frac{4}{3}\pi R_2^3 \] = \[ \frac{1.32 × {10}^5 × \frac{4}{3}\pi {(2.0 × {10}^{-3} )}^3}{1.0 ×{10}^5} \]
⇒ \[ R_2^3 = \frac{1.32 × {10}^5 × {(2.0 × {10}^{-3 })}^3}{1.0 × {10}^5} \]
⇒ \[ R_3 = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1.32 × {10}^5× {(2.0 × {10}^{-3} )}^3}{1.0 × {10}^5}} \]
⇒ R3 = 2.2 × 10-3 m

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 cm3 s–1. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 cm3 s–1. Identify the gas
[Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2 = (M2/M1)1/2, where R1, R2 are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory.]
