A small bubble rises from the bottom a lake, where the temperature and pressure are 4 deg C and 3.0 atm, to the waters surface, where the 25°C and 95 atm. How do you calculate the final volume of the bubble if its initial volume was 2.1 mL?

I think you might want to review this question's terms. I get approx. #7*mL# IF the end pressure is #0.95*atm.#

We use the #"combined gas law:"# #(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2.#

And thus #V_2=(P_1xxV_1xxT_2)/(T_1xxP_2)#

#=(3.0*atmxx2.1*mLxx298*K)/(277*Kxx0.95*atm)=??mL#
