Question
A diver ascends to the surface of the ocean too quickly and becomes sick due to the decrease of pressure. This is an example of__________.
- Boyle’s law
- Charles’s law
- Ideal gas law
- Combined gas laws
Hint:
Also called Mariotte's law.
The correct answer is: Boyle’s law
The correct option is a)Boyle’s law.
The nitrogen gas in the body expands according to Boyle's law when it ascends to a depth where the water pressure is low. If the diver does not ascend slowly enough for the body to expel this expanding nitrogen gas, tiny air bubbles can form in the blood and tissue, causing decompression sickness.
