A syringe is similar to a balloon in effect on pressure. The more air you insert, the less space for fluid. The more pressure exerted on it, the less volume of air and the more the liquid would fill up the space.

Why the volume of the air molecules inside of the syringe changes?

This is the effect of the pressure.


If a sealed syringe is plunged into cold water in which direction will the syringe piston slide?

Think about what happens to the gas (air) inside the syringe when the temperature decreases. As the gas cools it will occupy a smaller volume and thus the syringe plunger will move DOWN the barrel.


Why does it make sense that if you squeeze the air in a sealed syringe that the pressure will go up?

If you squash something in a sealed container then you are reducing the volume available for it to fit into and the result is that it pushes back (the pressure goes up). It is like forcing air into a bicycle tyre with a pump.


How does air pressure help in pulling medicine from syringe?

Air pressure helps in pulling medicine from a syringe by creating a difference in pressure between the inside of the syringe and the atmosphere outside. When the plunger is pulled back, it increases the volume inside the syringe, reducing the pressure. This lower pressure allows the higher atmospheric pressure to push the liquid medicine into the syringe, facilitating the withdrawal of the medication. Essentially, the pressure gradient created by the plunger movement enables the liquid to flow into the syringe easily.


How can an air bubble be expelled from a syringe?

To expel an air bubble from a syringe, first hold the syringe with the needle pointing up. Then gently tap the side of the syringe to move the air bubble towards the needle. Finally, push the plunger slowly to expel the air bubble out of the syringe.

What is the effect on the volume of the air in the syringe if more force is exerted on the plunger?

Increasing the force on the plunger will decrease the volume of air in the syringe as the increased pressure compresses the air.


What happens to the air particles when you pull the syringe plunger back up after pushing it down?

When you pull the syringe plunger back up, the volume inside the syringe increases, causing the air pressure to decrease. As a result, the air particles inside the syringe spread out to fill the newly available space, creating a lower pressure environment.


How does a syringe help explain pressure and air pressure?

A syringe demonstrates the relationship between pressure and volume. When you pull the plunger, the volume inside the syringe increases, causing the pressure to decrease. This is because the air particles inside the syringe become more spread out, resulting in lower pressure.

What happens to the marshmallows in the syringe as i push the plunger down What happens to the marshmallows in the syringe as i pull the plunger up?

When you push the plunger of a syringe down into a marshmallow, it puffs up with air. When you pull the plunger of the syringe up while it is in the marshmallow, it will shrink.

What causes the air pressure inside the push syringe to increase?

The plunger being pushed into the syringe compresses the air inside, reducing its volume and increasing its pressure. This is due to Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature.


Why would you not be able to continue decreasing the volume of a syringe until the volume was zero?

If the volume is zero, then there is no volume left in the syringe to measure.


Sam filled a 500ml conical flask with 200ml of water Then he attached a 100ml syringe full of air to the conical flask and pushed the plunger inwards What was the volume of air in the flask?

The total volume in the flask is 500ml of water + 100ml of air from the syringe, which equals 600ml. Since the 200ml of water takes up space in the conical flask, the remaining volume for air is 400ml.

What happens to the volume of a balloon if exposed to hot air?

The air will expand, increasing the volume


What happens if you use a syringe to shoot air in to your arm?

That is an air embolism. If you shoot air into the bloodstream it can cause death. If you shoot it into a muscle it can cause an abcess.
