Gas law

Gas laws

      There are three gas laws in chemistry. The Charles gas law, the Boyles gas law, and the Gay-Lussac's gas law. in learning about the laws we used the PTV chart. the PTV chart stands fo pressure, temperature, and volume.

        Charles gas law:  Charles law states that as vloume increases the temperature will also increase, and vise-versa. An example was the when we did the egg experiment and we had to get the egg out. We increased the temperature making volume increase, thus forcing the egg out. A real life example is when you leave a bike outside while it is winter. The air gets colder and and the tire will begin to "deflate." Whats happening is that the air in the tire is decreasing in volume, there is still the same amount of air in the tire, but it doesnt show it. 


         Boyles gas law:  States that when pressure goes up, volume goes down. And when volume goes up, pressure goes down.  An example of the law is when we used a tire pump and pumped a bottle up. Inside of the bottle was a seringe, and with the more pressure added the volume inside of the bottle increased. A real life example of this is a spray paint can. You increase the preasure in it making the particles come closer together decreasing their volume. 

         
         Gay-Lussac's: States that when temperature goes up/ down, so deos pressure. And when pressure goes up/ down, temperature goes up. An example of this is when we increased the amount of pressure in a pop bottle, inside of the pop bottle was a temperature gauge. As we filled it up with more air, the temperature increased.  A real life example of this is when you fire a cannon. The temperature in the barrel increases, making pressure increase, which forces the canon ball out.
