Given the following, what will the volume of the gas inside be if the hull of the submarine breaks?
A small research submarine with a volume of #1.2 xx 10^5# L has an internal pressure of 1.0 atm and an internal temperature of 15° C. If the submarine descends to a depth where the pressure is 150 atm and the temperature is 3° c....
