A diver named Jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the

surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). The temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘C, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘C.What is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (Vs) to its volume at the bottom (Vb)?If Jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. Would it be safe for Jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?

Answer:

A) the ratio of volumes of the bubble is Vs/Vb= 3.74

B)  would not be safe since Vs/Vb== 3.5 and there is no lung capacity to store such amount of volume, and thus would generate an unsafe pressure over the lungs. would be better to release air accordingly to maintain safe conditions.

Explanation:

assuming the gas of the bubble behaves as ideal gas

P * V = n * R * T

where P= absolute pressure, V= volume occupied by the gas, n = number of moles , R = ideal gas constant , T = absolute temperature

if we assume that the mass of the bubble remains constant ( that is, it does not capture other bubbles during ascension of disaggregate into smaller ones and there is no mass transfer into the bubble due to diffusion)

inicial state)  Pb * Vb = n * R * Tb

final  state)  Ps * Vs = n * R * Ts

dividing both equations

(Ps/Pb)(Vs/Vb) = Ts/Tb

therefore

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps)

since Tb = 4°C = 277 K and Ts= 23°C = 296 K

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps) = (296K/277K)*(3.5 atm/1 atm) = 3.74

B) if the T remains constant Ts=Tb and thus

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps)= 1* (Pb/Ps) = 3.5 atm/1 atm = 3.5

it would not be safe since there is no lung capacity to store such amount of volume, and thus would generate an unsafe pressure over the lungs. would be better to release air accordingly to maintain safe conditions.

"relate the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle to the process of fertilisation"​
DerKrebs [107]

Explanation:

During your menstrual cycle , Harmones make the eggs in your Ovaries mature -

• when an egg is mature , That means it's ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell .

• These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy . So if your egg does get Fertilised , It has a nice cushy place to land and start a pregnancy .

Describe what happens to chemical<br> bonds during a chemical reaction
dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

The bonds that keep molecules together break apart and form new bonds during chemical reactions, rearranging atoms into different substances. Each bond takes a distinct amount of energy to either break or form; the reaction does not take place without this energy, and the reactants stay as they were.
