Answer:
The final volume is 1.6 L.
Explanation:
It is given that,
A diver has a lung capacity of 2.4 L when the pressure is 0.8 atm. We need to find the volume of the diver’s lungs when the pressure changes to 1.2 atm. Let V₂ is volume.
It is based on Boyle's law. According to this law,
[tex]PV=K[/tex]
K is constant
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{0.8\times 2.4}{1.2}\\\\V_2=1.6\ L[/tex]
So, the final volume is 1.6 L.
