Title: Example of Gas Laws (02/25/08)
Description: Students are to identify a practical example of Boyle's or Charles' Law from everyday life.

DB -- Charles' law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:26 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 3216

When you leave a balloon out in the cool weather it deflates because the gas molecules slow down, to a stop. Since the gas molecules are so close together now, the volume of the balloon decreases and deflates.

JB -- My Example of Gas Law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:19 PM GMT0 • comment (8) • Reads 802

The can project was a demonstration of gas and pressure. When the can was over the bunsen burner the water insides atoms bounced around and came out the top of the can dew to hot temperatures. Then when the water inside the can turned to gas was cooled, and pressure forced the can to crinkle up.

The Boyles law is states that the volume of gas increase when the pressure decreases at a constant temperature. An example of Boyles law is a muscle that is located just below the lungs, when you inhale the diaphram moves downward allowing the lungs an increased volume.

The Charles law is a gas law and specific instance of the ideal gas law. An example of Charles law would be what happens when a hot air balloon has has air heated. As the air inside the balloon expands the balloon gets bigger and displaces more air.

SD -- A Floaty

When you have a inflatable pool toy sitting away from the pool in the hot sun it gets really warm. Then you have the cold pool. When you are ready to use the floaty you throw it in the pool and it deflates a little. Not alot

BF -- Charle's Law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:17 PM GMT0 • comment (8) • Reads 753

A bottle of soda or beer. When soda/beer is cold only a bit of pressure is released when is opened. When warm and opened enough pressure is released that it squirts out the top. The temperature rises which increases the volume and gains pressure. So when you open the soda/beer it releases all that pressure that was just gained.

When you leave a balloon in cold temperatures for a long amount of time, it will deflate. It will deflate because the molecules will slow down and the volume will decrease.

LH -- shock

Article posted February 27, 2008 at 03:25 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 772

the shock is an example of boyle's law when you go over a bump. and the gas in the shock compresses the gas gets pushed and compresed it absorbs the shock in the road so it makes a comfortable ride.

KI -- Examples of Boyle's and Charkel's law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:28 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 765

Boyle's Law:When you squeeze a spring the harder you squeeze the harder it pushes back.

Charle's Law: If you were to inflate an inflatable pool toy and leave it in the hot sun and then throw it in to the pool and after a while it seems to deflate a little bit because the heated up gas cools rapidly and the gas would lose energy and pressure.

An example of energy in motion, is a balloon and some one or something sitting on it. For example, let's say I blow up a balloon and I sit on it.The balloon will flatten and eventually pop.

RK -- Boyle's Law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:22 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 746

The hissing noise you hear when you open a bottle of pop is due to the pressure being higher inside the bottle than outside. The additional pressure at the surface helps keep the bubbles in the actual pop itself. Once this occurs the pressure is much lower and the gas bubbles have previously been dissolved into the pop. They have nothing holding them in the liquid so they rise out. When they reach the surface they pop and explode.

KK -- Charles Law

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:15 PM GMT0 • comment (4) • Reads 713

When you take 10 ml. of water and heat them up until it boils [when steam comes out of the can] then put the can upside down in cold water you will find that the can explodes. While the can was being heated the air was pushing out because the gas has more energy. The gas was moving faster. In the can there was less air molecules, which have more pressure. With the air the pressure is initially equal. So when we flipped the can upside down into a beaker of cold water the water cooled the gas. The gas now has less energy and pressure and then the can pushes in.
Here is one example of Charles’s law. Charles’s law is what happens when a hot air balloon has air heated. The air expands and fills the balloon. When the air expands the gas is being heated and that makes the gas molecules move around quickly. Then that causes it to make the balloon bigger and give it lift. Other physical principles cause the balloon to rise against the gravitational force. As the air inside the balloon expands the balloon gets bigger and displaces more air. The displaced air produces a buoyant force that counters the gravitational force and causes the balloon to rise.

AM -- combustion in car engines

Article posted February 26, 2008 at 03:20 PM GMT0 • comment (4) • Reads 689

a electric spark from the spark plug ignites the gas vapor pushing the piston downward which puts power out the crankshaft, then to the transmission, then to the rear axle and causes the vehicle to move.

CM -- Boyle's Law

Article posted February 26, 2008 at 03:25 PM GMT0 • comment (3) • Reads 876

Boyle’s law is named after the Irish natural philosopher named Robert Boyle. It states that as volume increases, pressure decreases, and as volume decreases then the pressure increases. In a hot air balloon, when you heat up the air it has more pressure so it expands the balloon, but when it cools back down, the balloon deflates.

GP -- sponge process

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:20 PM GMT0 • comment (7) • Reads 939

When you apply pressure to the sponge from the outside, it gets smaller and the air and water runs out. When the sponge absorbs air and water it gets larger.

JP -- Gas laws of today

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:19 PM GMT0 • comment (6) • Reads 712

When you apply pressure to a marshmallow it will expand and probably explode, because the pressure is greater on the inside of the marshmallow. In our can the pressure was greater on the outside of the can which made it implode. All the marshmallow is is a mixture of sugar, air, and gelatin.

DR -- The can project

Article posted February 25, 2008 at 03:12 PM GMT0 • comment (5) • Reads 662

The can project was an example of, when you heat up the can the air is pushed out, because it has more energy moving faster. Then when you throw it upside down in cold water, the energy slows down immediately which causes the pressure to crush the can.


Charles law in a pop bottle

The pressure inside the bottle is way higher than outside of the bottle. When you open up a bottle of coke the hissing sound you hear is the pressure equalizing it self. The hissing sound you hear is carbon dioxide. The people who work at the factory pump in carbon dioxide into the bottles so when you open up the bottle it all rushes out which causes the sound you hear

CS -- Boyles law

Article posted February 27, 2008 at 03:25 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 774

Whenever you put heat to a inflated balloon it pops. The reason it pops is because the heat expands the air and the balloon gets big and blows up

KZ -- what happens when you mix cold and hot water

Article posted February 27, 2008 at 03:22 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 741

When the water in a can is up it boils. You need 10 ml of water in a can. When it is done plunge it upside down in a tub of water. This will cause it to implode. This happens because the heat from the hot water and the cold water mix. This causes cold water to have more pressure than the water in the can and it implodes.
If you take a ball and take it to space the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside the ball. The pressure from the outside will push on the ball until it implodes. All you will hear is a short loud bang. This is caused by the knetic energy and pressure volume. the more it pushes the tighter it gets. This will either cause it to implode or explode. In this case it will implode.

When you set off a firework not just the firework itself exploding gives off energy to the gases and that is what creates the shock wave.

About the Blogger
I have a MEd in Science and a Bachelors in Biology. I usually have more questions than answers (it keeps you learning). I thrive on contradictions. What I believe and what I practice are not the same (I don't pretend that they are and continue to work towards that actually happening). Every day is a new beginning. If you have no doubt, you miss a great learning opportunity. * This Zen quote seems important lately: “Great doubt, great enlightenment. Little doubt, little enlightenment. No doubt, no enlightenment.”
