A diver uses breathing apparatus under water at a depth where the pressure is 1.25 × 105 Pa. 

A bubble of gas breathed out by the diver has a volume of 20 cm3 when it is released. The bubble moves upwards to the surface of the water.

At the surface of the water, the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 × 105 Pa.

The temperature of the water is the same at all depths.

What is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface of the water?

25 cm³
