1.

What happens to air bubbles exhaled by a diver as they ascend?

a)

They shrink in size

b)

They expand as pressure decreases

c)

They remain the same size

d)

They increase in density

2.

If a diver’s lungs contain 2L of air at the surface (1 atm), what will the volume be at a depth of 10 meters (2 atm)?

a)

4 L

b)

2 L

c)

1 L

d)

0.5 L

3.

What is the key outcome of Boyle’s Law experiments?

a)

Volume decreases as temperature increases

b)

Volume remains constant at high pressure

c)

Volume is inversely proportional to pressure

d)

Volume is directly proportional to pressure

4.

What happens to gas molecules in the lungs during ascent if air isn’t exhaled?

a)

The molecules expand, leading to overinflation of the lungs

b)

The molecules condense, reducing lung volume

c)

The pressure inside the lungs decreases

d)

The volume of the gas remains constant

5.

Which mathematical expression represents Boyle’s Law?

a)

P × V = k

b)

P + V = k

c)

P/V = k

d)

P – V = k

6.

A diver’s lung volume expands from 6L to 30L during ascent. What does this indicate about pressure at depth?

a)

Pressure at depth is lower

b)

Pressure at depth is higher

c)

Pressure at depth equals surface pressure

d)

Volume and pressure are unrelated

7.

What happens to gas concentration as surrounding pressure increases?

a)

It decreases

b)

It increases

c)

It remains constant

d)

It fluctuates

8.

Which factor is directly proportional to the volume of a gas in Boyle's Law?

a)

Temperature

b)

Pressure

c)

Reciprocal of pressure

d)

The number of gas molecules

9.

Why is it dangerous to hold your breath during ascent after breathing compressed air?

a)

The air will expand, causing lung overinflation

b)

The air will shrink, reducing oxygen levels

c)

The lungs will fill with water

d)

The pressure will remain constant

10.

What is the formula for Boyle's Law?

a)

P1V1=P2V2

b)

P1V1/P2V2

c)

P1V2=P2V1
