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)decreases.
C)remains constant.
D)increases or decreases,depending on the rate it rises.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the air bubble rises toward the surface, the pressure decreases. According to Boyle's law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature remains constant. Therefore, as the pressure decreases, the volume of the air bubble will increase.

An Air Bubble Underwater Has the Same Pressure as That
