A bubble of helium gas has a volume of 0.65 L near the bottom of a large
aquarium where the pressure is 3.4 atm and the temperature is 19°C. Determine
the bubble's volume upon rising near the top where the conditions change to 3.2
atm and 36°C.

0.73L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question :

V1 = 0.65 L

P1 = 3.4 atm

T1 = 19°C = 19 + 273 = 292K

V2 =?

P2 = 3.2 atm

T2 = 36°C = 36 + 273 = 309K

The bubble's volume near the top can be obtain as follows:

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2 /T2

3.4 x 0.65/292 = 3.2 x V2 /309

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

292 x 3.2 x V2 = 3.4 x 0.65 x 309

Divide both side by 292 x 3.2

V2 = (3.4 x 0.65 x 309) /(292 x 3.2)

V2 = 0.73L

Therefore, the bubble's volume near the top is 0.73L

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
