An air bubble underwater has the same pressure as that of the surrounding water. As the air bubble rises toward the surface (and its temperature remains constant), the volume of the air
Bubble
A) increases.
B) remains constant.
C) increases or decreases, depending on the rate it rises.
D) decreases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Boyle's Law, for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. As the air bubble rises toward the surface, the water pressure decreases, so the volume of the air bubble increases.

An Air Bubble Underwater Has the Same Pressure as That
