Height of object compared to ground below it

Question 7

Boyles law

Answer 7

At constant temp volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it’s subjected

Question 8

Dalton’s law

Answer 8

In mix of gases, the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure each gas would be in a given enclosure

Question 9

Henry’s law

Answer 9

Amount of gas dissolved in given liquid that doesn’t chemically combine it will be directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid

Question 10

Charles law

Answer 10

Volume and pressure of gas varies w/temp

Question 11

Hypoxia hypoxia

Answer 11

Decrease oxygen pressure with inspired air within lungs -low pressure

Question 12

Hypericum hypoxia

Answer 12

Less then normal hemoglobin, no air supply to the lungs - blood loss, carbon monoxide
