COMEDK · Physics · 14. Kinetic Theory of Gases

A gas bubble of volume \(2 \mathrm{~cm}^3\) rises from the bottom of a pond of depth 10 m at \(17^0 \mathrm{C}\). What will be the volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface of the pond? Atmospheric temperature is \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the pressure at the bottom of the pond is double that of the pressure at the surface.

  1. A \(12.8 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  2. B \(4.1 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  3. C \(8.2 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)
  4. D \(6.4 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.1 \mathrm{~cm}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P_1\) and \(V_1\) be the pressure and volume at the bottom of the pond, and \(P_2\) and \(V_2\) be the pressure and volume at the surface. Given \(V_1 = 2 \text{ cm}^3\). The temperature at the bottom is \(T_1 = 17 + 273 = 290 \text{ K}\). The temperature at the surface is…
