Chapter 13: Problem 51

A diver rises quickly to the surface from a 5.0 -m depth. If she did not exhale the gas from her lungs before rising, by what factor would her lungs expand? Assume the temperature to be constant and the pressure in the lungs to match the pressure outside the diver's body. The density of seawater is $1.03 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Question: Calculate the expansion factor of a diver's lungs if she does not exhale the gas from her lungs while rising from a 5.0 m depth in seawater with a density of \(1.03 \times 10^3 \mathrm{kg/m^3}\). Answer: ___ (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Step by step solution

01

Determine the initial pressure at 5.0 m depth

To find the pressure at 5.0 m depth, we'll need to use the formula for pressure in a fluid column: \(P = P_0 + \rho gh\), where \(P_0\) is atmospheric pressure, \(\rho\) is the fluid density, \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \(h\) is the depth. Use the given density of seawater, \(1.03 \times 10^3 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\), and the standard value for atmospheric pressure, \(1.01 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Pa}\). \(P = (1.01 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Pa}) + (1.03 \times 10^3 \mathrm{kg/m^3})(9.81 \mathrm{m/s^2})(5.0 \mathrm{m})\) Calculate the value of \(P\).
02

Determine the final pressure at the surface

The final pressure at the surface will be equal to atmospheric pressure, \(P_0\). Therefore: \(P_2 = P_0 = 1.01 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Pa}\)
03

Apply Boyle's Law to find the expansion factor

Using Boyle's Law, \(P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\), we can find the expansion factor, \(V_2/V_1\), by dividing both sides of the equation by \(P_1V_1\): \(\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{P_1}{P_2}\) Substitute the values of \(P_1\) (from Step 1) and \(P_2\) (from Step 2) into the equation, and calculate the value of the expansion factor: \(\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{P_1}{P_2}\)

A smoke particle has a mass of \(1.38 \times 10^{-17} \mathrm{kg}\) and it is randomly moving about in thermal equilibrium with room temperature air at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) What is the rms speed of the particle?
A wine barrel has a diameter at its widest point of \(134.460 \mathrm{cm}\) at a temperature of \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) A circular iron band, of diameter \(134.448 \mathrm{cm},\) is to be placed around the barrel at the widest spot. The iron band is \(5.00 \mathrm{cm}\) wide and \(0.500 \mathrm{cm}\) thick. (a) To what temperature must the band be heated to be able to fit it over the barrel? (b) Once the band is in place and cools to \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) what will be the tension in the band?
During hibernation, an animal's metabolism slows down, and its body temperature lowers. For example, a California ground squirrel's body temperature lowers from \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) during hibernation. If we assume that the air in the squirrel's lungs is $75.0 \% \mathrm{N}_{2}\( and \)25.0 \% \mathrm{O}_{2},$ by how much will the rms speed of the air molecules in the lungs have decreased during hibernation?
A steel ring of inner diameter \(7.00000 \mathrm{cm}\) at $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is to be heated and placed over a brass shaft of outer diameter \(7.00200 \mathrm{cm}\) at \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) (a) To what temperature must the ring be heated to fit over the shaft? The shaft remains at \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) (b) Once the ring is on the shaft and has cooled to \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) to what temperature must the ring plus shaft combination be cooled to allow the ring to slide off the shaft again?

What is the total internal kinetic energy of 1.0 mol of an ideal gas at \(0.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 1.00 atm?
