Height of object compared to ground below it

Question 6

Boyles law

Answer 6

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

Question 7

Dalton’s law

Answer 7

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 8

Henry’s law

Answer 8

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 9

Charles law

Answer 9

Volume and pressure of gas varies w/temp

Question 10

Hypoxia hypoxia

Answer 10

Decrease oxygen pressure with inspired air within lungs -low pressure

Question 11

Hypericum hypoxia

Answer 11

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