In the lungs of a deep-sea diver (V = 6.0 L) at a depth of 100 m, the pressure of the air is 7400 torr. At a constant temperature of 37 °C, to what volume would the air expand if the diver were immediately brought to the surface (1.0 atm)?

Strategy

After making sure the units are consistent, use Boyle’s law to derive the algebraic equation that relates pressure and volume.
