When outside pressure presses on a balloon, the volume inside increases causing the pressure to decrease. This makes the outside pressure greater than the pressure inside making the balloon burst.

Gay-Lusaac's Law is explained by the one experiment with a hard-boiled egg, hot and cold water, and a flask. We swirled hot water around and then dumped out the water. We placed the egg on the top of the flask and put the whole thing in cold water. The egg went in.
The hot water caused the molecules to move fast and pressure to increase from the bottom of the flask. When placed it in cold water the molecules slowed down and the pressure decreased causing the force on the outside to increase and the balloon to be pushed in. Temperature and pressure changed while volume stayed the same.
Charles Law is explained by a balloon being heated up. A balloon with constant pressure was heated up and rose but when heat was removed, the balloon fell. The molecules were expanded and so the volume increased. The pressure on the outside was the same while the temperature and volume increased.

Charles Law-
This post explains the molecular activity that went on in your labs, great job!
ReplyDeleteYour explanations are great! I like how you went into depth. You did a good job.
