Halliday, Resnick & Walker — The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 48

48 An air bubble of volume 15 cm³ is at the bottom of a lake 40 m deep, where the temperature is 4.0°C. The bubble rises to the surface, which is at a temperature of 20°C. Take the temperature of the bubble’s air to be the same as that of the surrounding water. Just as the bubble reaches the surface, what is its volume?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 15 cm, 40 m, 4.0°C, 20°C
