* Decreases as altitude increases
21
New cards

What does Boyle’s Law state?
* The pressure of a gas is inversely related to it’s volume when T is constant * The product P x V is constant when temperature and amount of gas is held constant * If the volume decreases, the pressure increases
23
New cards
Formula for Boyle’s Law
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
24
New cards
Why does Boyle’s Law work?
As the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are forced closer together. Conversely, as the pressure on a gas decreases, the gas volume increases because the gas particles can now move farther apart.
25

Boyle’s Law → Breathing
Inhalation
* Lungs expand = lung volume increase * Lung pressure decreases * Air flows toward lower pressure in the lungs * Diaphragm contracts → moves down
\ Exhalation
* Lungs contract = lung volume decrease * Lung pressure increases * Air flows from the higher pressure in the lungs to the outside * Diaphragm relaxes → moves up

28
New cards
What is the formula for Charles’s Law
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
29
New cards
Why does Charles’s Law work?
The molecules' kinetic energy increases and they start to vibrate more and move around further from each other, therefore accounting for an increase in volume.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
32

34
New cards

35
New cards
Why does Avogadro’s Law work?
If you increase the pressure of a system at equilibrium (typically by reducing the volume of the container), the stress will best be reduced by reaction that favors the side with the fewest moles of gas, since fewer moles will occupy the smallest volume.
* Decreased volume **shifts the system to the side of the reaction that has fewer moles of gas**.
