A great white shark has resided at a depth where the pressure is 16 atm. If the initial volume of its swim bladder is 4 L, what would the new volume be if it surfaces where the pressure is 2 atm

The new volume of the gas is 32L

Explanation:

P1 = 16atm

V1 = 4L

P2 = atm

V2 = ?

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided the temperature remains constant.

P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2

V2 = (16 * 4) / 2

V2 = 64 / 2

V2 = 32L

The new volume of the gas is 32L

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
