What does STP stand for?
Standard temp and pressure
Boyles Law
Temperature stays constant, volume increases, pressure decreases
Boyles Law formula
P1V1=P2V2
Charles Law
Pressure stays constant, temp increases, volume increases
Gay Lussacs Law
volume stays constant, temp increases, pressure increases
Gay Lussacs Law formula
P1/T1=P2/T2
Charles Law formula
V1/T1=V2/T2
Combined gas law formula
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
Why it is so difficult to climb Mount Everest?
limited oxygen, icy temperatures, descending severe sickness, death
Death zone
7000-8000 ft
Thermosphere
produces northern lights; blocks deadly radiation
Mesosphere
cold layer that helps slow down meteors
Stratosphere
contains ozone layer-helps block UV radiation from the sun
Troposphere
layer closest to the Earth; where all weather takes place
Temperature decreases
altitude increases
