The pressure at the bottom of the lake can be calculated as follows:
Pbottom===P0+ρgh(105+1000×10×40)Pa5×105Pa
As the temperature of water remains constant, it can be written that
PbottomVbottom=PtopVtop...(1)
Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) to calculate the required volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface.
5×105×1=⇒=1×105×VtopVtop=1×1055×105×1cm35cm3
