Question 31 2 points Save Answer The Great Barrier Reef near Australia is reported to have the best diving in the world. Along the Reef, a scuba diver goes down 50 ft to look at the sea creatures. As she descends, the air pressure increases, but this is regulated by continuous breathing. Identify the applicable gas law if the diver held her breath. Avogadro's Law Ideal Gas Law Charles's Law Boyle's Law Dalton's Law

Answer 1

The temperature is constant. Hence PV= constant. Now if the diver hold his breath while descent, the air compressed due to high pressure inside his lungs can infalate up and cause lung barotrauma. Hence holding breath should be avoided.

And the answer is Boyles law.
