What is a real world application of Boyle's law?

Answer 1

Suppose that you buy a bag of chips at the top of a mountain, once you hit the bottom of the mountain, the bag explodes, causing chips to fly everywhere. This is because the air contained in the bag expanded as the pressure inside of the bag increased.

A car with only 1 or two people in it has very little pressure on the wheels and a high volume. However, a full car with luggage, and 8 people would decrease the volume of the tires but increase the pressure of air.

Answer 2

A practical application illustrating Boyle's Law would be the action of a syringe. When we draw fluids into a syringe, we increase the volume inside the syringe, this correspondingly decreases the pressure on the inside where the pressure on the outside of the syringe is greater and forces fluid into the syringe. If we reverse the action and push the plunger in on the syringe we are decreasing the volume on the inside which will increase the pressure inside making the pressure greater than on the outside and fluids are forced out.

A more life dependent example of Boyle's Law is the action of the diaphragm of our body. This is a muscle that is located just below the lungs. When we inhale the diaphragm moves downward allowing the lungs an increased volume. This decreases the pressure inside the lungs so that the pressure is less than the outer pressure. This results in forcing air into the lungs. When we exhale the diaphragm moves upward and decreases the volume of the lungs. This increases the pressure inside the lungs above the pressure on the outside of the lungs so that gases are forced out of the lungs. Of course, all of this is totally automatic and we take this important cycle which is performed hundreds of times a day for granted until we receive a sharp blow to that region that briefly paralyses the diaphragm muscle. We say the wind was knocked out of us, but Boyles Law was not allowed to function.

Answer 3

To calculate the volume or the pressure of a gas, at a given temperature, in a closed system.
Boyle's Law concerns the inverse relationship between volume and pressure of an ideal gas. Mathematically, it can be expressed by the equation P1V1=P2V2. It is named for Irish scientist Robert Boyle. Stated in words, it says "Pressure varies inversely with volume." In other words, as pressure goes up, volume goes down, and vice versa.

Answer 4

Scuba diving. the higher the pressure (deeper you go), the lower the volume of your lungs (your lungs shrink).

Answer 5

1) a bicycle pump

2) a popping ballon

Answer 6

This can be during surgery. Often it is used when a chest or belly is too tight and the ventilator speed needs to be adjusted.
