properties of gases 2 Flashcards
-states that in a fixed amount of ideal gas is kept at a fixed temperature, the pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely proportional
- when one doubles the other is reduced by half
boyle’s law
What happens to the volume of the gas as its pressure increases?
As pressure increases the volume decreases.
If the pressure is decreased, what will happen to the volume?
If the pressure will be decreased, the volume will increase.
What is the product value of Volume and Pressure?
The product of Volume and Pressure is equal to 10,000,000 which is the value of the k (constant)
When the plunger on a sealed syringe is pushed, the pressure increases and the volume decreases.

The pressure decreases dramatically as deep-sea fishes are raised, increasing the volume of gases in their blood and swim bladder.
underwater
In order to store gas in a small container, gases are highly pressurized, resulting in the reduction of the volume of the gas.
storage of gas
When we inhale, the volume of the lungs increases which in turn decreases the pressure inside the lungs compared to the outer atmosphere.
When we exhale, the volume of the lungs decreases which in turn increases the pressure inside the lungs compared to the outer atmosphere.
mechanism of breathing
If a scuba diver returns to the surface too quickly, dissolved gases in the blood expand and form bubbles, which can get stuck in capillaries and organs.
