APPLICATION OF BOYLE'S LAW IN AIR BUBBLE FROM FISH

Application of BOYLE'S LAW IN AIR BUBBLE FROM FISH

1. AIR BUBBLES FROM FISH Boyle’s law

2. QUESTION: Why do air bubbles exhaled by fish in an aquarium get bigger as they rise?

3. Solution Process: As the air bubbles rise, the pressure exerted on them by the surrounding water decreases. According to Boyle’s Law, as pressure decreases, the volume of the gas increases. This means the air bubbles expand as they ascend through the water column.

4. ANSWER: The air bubbles get bigger as they rise because the pressure of the water surrounding them decreases, causing the volume of the air bubbles to increase according to Boyle’s Law.

5. KEY CONCEPT The pressure in a liquid increases with depth.
