According to the Gay-Lussac’s law, the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly


proportional to its temperature on the Kelvin scale when the volume is held constant.
Moreover, Charles’s law states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly
proportional to its temperature on the Kelvin scale when the pressure is held constant.
Lastly, Boyle’s law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant
temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured.
2. In Boyle's law the temperature stays constant, while the pressure and volume are
inversely related; this means that if the pressure goes up, the volumes goes down, and if
the volume goes up, then the pressure goes down. For example, like a spray paint or an air
freshener, inside the can, there is an intense build-up of pressure and a minimal amount of
volume. When you press down on the trigger, intense pressure inside the can pushes
outward on the liquid inside the can, trying to escape, and forces the liquid out when the
cap makes an opening, allowing some of that pressure out which creates the colored paint
or the smell. With the temperature staying the same throughout, the intense pressure is
varied indirectly with the minimal amount of volume allowed in the spray can showing
that this is an example of Boyle's law.
3. One of the real life application of Avogadro’s law that I encounter on my day to day life
is breathing. When we are breathing, we inhale so then the lungs expand as they fill in
with air. Moreover, exhaling means decreasing the volume of the lungs.
4. The ideal gas law states that pressure and volume are proportional to number of moles
and temperature. This means that as temperature increases, and the pressure on the
outside remains the same, the balloon expands and therefore the air inside the balloon
becomes less dense than the air outside of it, therefore rising up. This happens because
when gases are heated, the molecules inside move faster and further apart, therefore, their
density gets lower and the particles get excited and causes the balloon to have a low
enough density in comparison to the outside air to rise.
5. Solids generally have high or very high densities, liquids generally have high densities,
and gases generally have very low densities. On the other hand, gases, which by
definition are less dense than either solids or liquids are much more subject to
compression, and compressed gases are common. Liquids are difficult to compress. The
comprehensibility of water does not vary that much, which is to say hardly at all, in its
solid and liquid states. Some solids are compressible to some degree dependent upon
density.
6. Matter is made up of tiny particles that can be atoms or groups of atoms called molecules.
They are the smallest unit that anything can be broken down into without doing
something extreme. The physical characteristics of atoms and molecules decide the form
or state the matter is in. The particles in most solids are closely packed together and even
though the particles are locked into place and cannot move or slide past each other, they
still vibrate a tiny bit. While in most liquids, the particles are less densely packed, giving
them the ability to move around and slide past each other, and the atoms and molecules in
gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids as they vibrate and move freely
at high speeds.
