What is a practical application of

Boyle's law?
A:
QUICK ANSWER
One practical application of Boyle's law is drawing fluid into a syringe. Pulling back on
the plunger increases the interior volume of the syringe and reduces its pressure. The
fluid outside the syringe is sucked into the barrel until the interior and exterior pressure
are balanced.

What is an application of Charles'

Law?
A:
QUICK ANSWER

An application of Charles' Law is a floating hot air balloon. A torch heats the air inside
the balloon causing the air particles to move faster and disperse, making the air in the
balloon less dense than the surrounding air so that the balloon floats.

What is the practical application of Charles's law?

FULL ANSWER

Charles' Law explains the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas. It
states that heating a gas while holding its pressure constant results in an increase in the
volume of the gas. Similarly, the volume of the gas decreases when the temperature
decreases.

A hot air balloon is an application of Charles' Law. The fuel used heats the air inside the
balloon. Heating the air increases the speed of its gas particles in air, so they move
faster and spread out, according to kinetic molecular theory as described by the
University of California. This causes the gas inside the balloon to take up more space.

The speed of movement of the gas particles as well as their dispersal causes the air
inside the balloon to become less dense than the air surrounding it. As a result, the
balloon floats. In short, the hot air in the balloon rises because of its decreased density.

What is an example of Gay-

Lussac's Law in everyday life?
A:
QUICK ANSWER

An example of Gay-Lussac's Law in everyday life is the shooting of a gun. As

gunpowder burns, it creates superheated gas, which forces the bullet out of the gun
barrel following Gay-Lussac's Law. Other everyday life examples can be found in things
that use gas and pressure in order to function.

FULL ANSWER
All gases have different properties that can be observed via the senses. These
properties include temperature, mass, volume and the pressure contained within the
gas. Scientists have discovered that all of these properties within a gas are related to
one another, and it is these properties that determine the gas' state.

Charles and Gay-Lussac were two French scientists who first discovered, and then
investigated, the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. The
temperature and volume of a gas are always found at constant numbers of both moles
and pressure. This rule is now called the Charles and Gay-Lussac Law to honor the
scientists. Originally, Charles did the work and then Gay-Lussac verified the work. They
both found that as pressure held constant in the gas, the volume was equal to the
constant times the temperature. This formula is known as V (volume) = Constant (C)
multiplied by T (temperature).

Avogadro's Law is used in many careers and

in many fields of work. In zoos, every once in a
while, you may spot a balloon sales
man/woman. He or she must make sure to
distribute the amount of helium (mass) evenly
in each balloon. It is obvious when he or she
made a mistake when one balloon is much
larger in size (volume) than another balloon.
Avogadro's Law can also be shown with those
that work with propane or natural gas. If they
fill to much of the gas into the container, then
the gas will cause the container to burst. This
happens if there is a increasing mass but the
the volume stays the same.
