Daily Blog 11/8

Today in class we reviewed the gas laws and applied them to real life situations.


Boyle's Law: There is constant temperature, and the pressure and volume were inversely related.


Charles Law: Constant pressure but temperature and volume are directly related.

Gay-Lusaacs Law: Constant volume but pressure and temperature are directly related.

For example, the lab we did with the egg in the flask is an example of Gay-Lusaacs law. The volume wasn't changed, but when the temperature was decreased, causing the pressure inside the flask to go down. The outside pressure then forced the egg into the flask.
