Gas Laws Form 4 Exercise and Examples

The document discusses several examples that illustrate pressure law: 1. Moving a balloon between hot and cold water causes its size to change due to changes in pressure and volume. 2. Bubbles rising from deep water to the surface increase in size as decreasing pressure causes volume to increase. 3. Drawing back the plunger of a syringe decreases pressure and increases volume, sucking in air or fluid. Heating a sealed container of gas causes pressure to increase according to pressure and temperature law.

Pressure law

1. Moving a balloon from icy to hot water.


2. Increase in size of bubbles as they rise to the surface

3. Change of Pressure in a Syringe

4. A sealed piston of hydrogen gas, heated from room


temperature

5. Deodorant Cans

6. Exploding beer/soda cans

7. A sealed aerosol can left out in the hot sun (HINT: what
happens to the gas inside)

Answers:

1. Moving a balloon from icy to hot water. (CVAT)

2. Increase in size of bubbles as they rise to the surface (BVIP)


We’ve all seen movies showing scuba divers breathing under
water and bubbles growing as they rise to the surface. This is
a good example of Boyle’s Law in nature. We know that the
deeper we go in the sea, more the pressure. Therefore as the
bubbles rise to the surface the pressure decreases and
accordingly the volume increases.

3. Change of Pressure in a Syringe (BVIP)


A syringe is an everyday device used in a hospital to draw
blood samples or give injections.
When the plunger of the syringe is pulled back the volume of
the syringe container increases, decreasing the pressure
inside since the same amount of gas is now spread over a
greater volume. To balance this effect of low pressure, air or
blood is sucked in through the needle, thus balancing the
pressure inside and outside the container.

4. A sealed piston of hydrogen gas, heated from room


temperature (PAT)

5. Deodorant Cans (CVAT)


It can be observed that when you use a pressure deodorant
can of any sort and spray for a few seconds, the can tends to
become cooler. This is a perfect example of Charles Law.
When you spray the can, the liquid spray of the can is released
hence decreasing pressure inside it a bit. Since the can’s
volume does not change the temperature falls showing the fact
that with the decrease in pressure the temperature falls
proportionally.

6. Exploding beer/soda cans (CVAT)


Beer or soda cans and bottles have a label on them stating
“Store in a cool, dry place”.  The reason being that these cans
have a lot of artificial pressure stored in them. When exposed
to direct sunlight/heat, the pressure inside the cans rise.
However since the volume is constant the pressure increases
to a limit where they burst, letting out all the pressure. The
temperature increase in the can resulted in the increase in
pressure resulting in the explosion.

7. A sealed aerosol can left out in the hot sun (HINT: what
happens to the gas inside.
(PAT)
