Pressure is due to particles colliding with the walls of the container in which the system is encompassed.

Therefore, for a lower pressure (with the same number of particles), the particles would have to collide less frequently with the container walls.

State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?

Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).


When particles in a closed container are heated they what?

The particles will gain kinetic energy and will move faster in the closed container. This will increase the number of collisions they make with the walls of the container, thus increasing the pressure.

Could you measure that air takes up space?

Blowing up a balloon is essentially a measurement of air taking up space. The balloon does add slightly to the pressure (although the newer Mylar balloons often have less pressure). However, the space occupied by the balloon defines the space occupied by the air (or gas) inside. Helium or Hydrogen are lighter than air. They will still take up space in your balloon, but because they have a lower density than air, they cause the balloons to float. If you have a pressure chamber/vacuum chamber, you can cause the same amount of air to take up more space by lowering the outside pressure, or make it take up less space by increasing the pressure.

What happens to a person's balance if his center of gravity is lowered?

The lowering of the center of gravity will make it easier for the person to balance. The person will use less muscular energy to maintain his balance with that lower center of gravity.


What happens when pressures are unbalanced?

if you mean in a chemical equation, then if the pressures are unbalanced, the reaction will shift to whatever side has less pressure, to make more pressure so its balanced out again.
