A SCUBA diver with a 4-liter lung capacity is at a depth of 135 feet (4 atm.) She ascends to the surface where the
pressure is 1 atm. What is her new lung volume?

Answer:

16L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 4L

P1 (initial pressure) = 4atm

P2 (final pressure) = 1atm

V2 (final volume) =?

Using Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the new volume can be obtain as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

4 x 4 = 1 x V2

16 = V2

V2 = 16L

Therefore, her new lungs volume is 16L
