A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.87 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 80.0 atm , what was the volume of the sample

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

Explanation:

As given in the question that gas is idealso we can use ideal gas equation to solve this;

Assuming that temperature is constant;

Lets and are the initial gas parameter before dropping into the ocean

and and are the final gas parameter after dropping into the ocean

according to boyle 's law pressure is inversly proportional to the volume at constant temperature.

hence,

P1=1 atm

V1=1.87L

P2=80atm

V2=?

After putting all values we get;

V2=0.0234L

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
