A diving bell dives from the surface up one atmosphere of pressure of 2 atm at 35 feet depth temperature doesn’t change does the volume double does the volume stay the same is the volume cut in half or can you not solve

1 answer

To solve this problem, we need to consider Boyle's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, assuming constant temperature.

In this case, the diving bell starts at the surface with a pressure of 1 atm (since 2 atm - 1 atm = 1 atm). As it dives to a depth of 35 feet, the pressure increases to 2 atm. According to Boyle's Law, as the pressure doubles, the volume of the gas is cut in half.

Therefore, the correct answer is that the volume is cut in half.
