12 - BURGUNDY
Asynchronous Task

Answer the following question and justify your answer.

1. When you push the valve in a syringe, the trapped gas inside it gets compressed.
What gas law can explain this situation?
- The working of a syringe can also be explained using Boyle's Law. When the
plunger of a syringe is pulled out, the volume inside the barrel increases,
resulting in a decrease in the pressure inside the barrel. Fluids (such as water)
flow from a high pressure area to a low pressure area.

2. What gas law is applied in hot air balloons?

- The operation of a hot air balloon depends on Charles' Law, the Ideal Gas Law,
and Archimedes' Principle. The operator first ignites a propane burner to fill the
balloon with air. As the air continues to heat up, it expands, according to Charles'
Law.

3. In your own words, explain the gas law using the assumptions of the kinetic
molecular theory.

a. Boyle’s law
- The volume of a constant mass of ideal gas at a constant temperature is
inversely proportional to its pressure.
b. Gay-lussac’s law
- Gay-Lussac's Law is an ideal gas law where at constant volume, the pressure of
an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
c. Charles’s law
- It states that if pressure of any gas is made constant then volume of the gas will
become directly proportional to temperature of the gas.
