Real Life Examples

Boyle's Law: A real life example of Boyle's law is when a balloon pops. The temperature stays constant. When you squeeze a balloon the volume decreases and there is less space for the molecules to move around. This creates more pressure, if you squeeze a balloon hard enough it will pop because the balloon can't withstand the added pressure.

Charles's Law: A real life example of Charles's Law is a hot air balloon. The balloon's pressure stays constant. The air inside the balloon is at a higher temperature and requires less air to expand and fill the balloon than if the air were at the outside temperature. The volume increases as the hot air fills the balloon and the density is lowered and takes flight because it becomes lighter than air.

Gay-Lussac's Law: An aerosol can is a real life example of Gay-Lussac's Law. If you increase the temperature, the pressure increases because the molecules have more collisions. The buildup of pressure can cause the can to explode.
