Homework Statement
An air bubble of volume 1cm^3 is located at a depth of 50m beneath the surface where the temperature is 17C. When the bubble goes up to the surface where the temperature is 27C, how much will its volume be? Take the atmospheric pressure to be 1atm. Assume the pressure increases 1atm for every 10 meters.
Homework Equations
Ideal Gas Law:
pV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
p_{1}v_{1}/T_{1}=p_{2}v_{2}/T_{2}
I plugged in:
5\times10^{5}\times1\times10^{-6}/290=1\times10^{5}\times V_{2}/300
Solving for V2, I get 5.2cm^3, but according to the solutions, that's not the answer...
I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for the help!
