An air bubble of volume V_o is released near the bottom of a lake at a depth of 11.0 meters. Assume that the temperature at the bottom of the lake is 4 ºC and 12 ºC at the surface.

What will be its new volume at the surface?

Refer to the following information for the next question.

Two flasks are connected by an tube that is initially clamped off. One flask, volume of 250 cm³, contains krypton gas at 500 mm Hg while the second flask, volume of 450 cm³, contains helium at 960 mm Hg (1 atm = 760 mm Hg). The clamp is removed so that the gases can mix.

What is the final pressure in the system? Assume constant temperature.

Refer to the following information for the next question.

The pressure in a car tire is 28 psi at 0 ºC. As the car runs on the road, the temperature of the tire increases. Assume that the volume of the tire remains constant and that the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi.

What is the temperature of the tire when the tire gauge reads 35 psi?
