Problem P. 4599. (January 2014)

P. 4599. A two-litre bottle with a hand sprayer is filled with liquid to three-quarters of the bottle. After pumping it, in the bottle a gauge pressure equal to the ambient air pressure can be reached. The volume fraction of the water-air mixture, which is slowly sprayed out, is 1:10. The temperature and the density of the effused air can be approximated with those of the ambient air.

a) Estimate at least how many times the bottle must be pumped, in order to spray out 0.5 litre water?

b) In how many doses can all the liquid be sprayed out of the bottle?
