Suppose Gabor, a scuba diver, is at a depth of 15m. Assume that: The air pressure in his air tract is the same as the net water pressure at this depth. This prevents water from coming in through his nose. The temperature of the air is constant (body temperature). The air acts as an ideal gas. Salt water has an average density of around 1.03 g/cm3, which translates to an increase in pressure of 1.00 atm for every 10.0 m of depth below the surface. Therefore, for example, at 10.0 m, the net pressure is 2.00 atm. What is the ratio of the molar concentration of gases in Gabor's lungs at the depth of 15 meters to that at the surface

Now the ratio of the gases in Gabor's lungs at the depth of 15m to that at

the surface is $\frac{(n/V)_{15\ m}}{(n/V)_{surface}} = 2.5$

The number of moles of gas that must be released is $n= 0.3538\ mols$

Explanation:

We are told from the question that the pressure at the surface is 1 atm and for each depth of 10m below the surface the pressure increase by 1 atm

This means that the pressure at the depth of the surface would be

$P_d = [\frac{15m}{10m} ] (1 atm) + 1 atm$

= 2.5 atm

The ideal gas equation is mathematically represented as

PV = nRT

Where P is pressure at the surface

V is the volume

R is the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol. K

making n the subject we have

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

Considering at the surface of the water the number of moles at the surface would be

$n_s = \frac{P_sV}{RT}$

Substituting 1 atm = 101325 N/m^2 for P_s , $6L = 6*10^{-3}m^3$ for volume , 8.314 J/mol. K for R , (37° +273) K for T into the equation

$n_s = \frac{(1atm)(6*10^{-3} m^3)}{(8.314J/mol \cdot K)(37 +273)K}$

= 0.2359 mol

To obtain the number of moles at the depth of the water we use

$n_d = \frac{P_d V}{RT}$

Where $P_d \ and \ n_d \$ are pressure and no of moles at the depth of the water

Substituting values we have

$n_d = \frac{(2.5)(101325 N/m^2)(6*10^{-3}m^3)}{(8.314 J/mol \cdot K)(37 + 273)K}$

= 0.5897 mol

Now to obtain the number of moles released we have

n = n_d - n_s

= 0.5897mol - 0.2359mol

$=0.3538 \ mol$

The molar concentration at the surface of water is

$[\frac{n}{V} ]_{surface} = \frac{0.2359mol}{6*10^-3m^3}$

=39.31mol/m^3

The molar concentration at the depth of water is

$[\frac{n}{V} ]_{15m} = \frac{0.5897}{6*10^{-3}}$

= 98.28 mol/m^3

Now the ratio of the gases in Gabor's lungs at the depth of 15m to that at the surface is

$\frac{(n/V)_{15\ m}}{(n/V)_{surface}} = \frac{98.28}{39.31} =2.5$
