What are some examples of problems related to Boyles Law?
(m) One obvious example of Boyle’s law in action is in a syringe. In a syringe, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is increased by drawing the handle back, thereby lessening the pressure. The blood in a vein has higher pressure than the gas in the syringe, so it flows into the syringe, equalizing the pressure differential. Boyle’s law is one of three gas laws which thoroughly describe the behavior of gases under varying temperatures, pressures and volumes. The other two laws are Gay-Lussac’s law and Graham’s law. These gas laws are striking, early examples of how the behavior of physical matter can be approximated in a rigorous mathematical way. Another way of describing Boyle’s law is that when you push a gas, it tends to push back. Without the massive amount of gravity holding them together, the solar system’s gas planets would rapidly diffuse in all directions, quickly depressurizing. There is a limit to the amount we can compress any given gas sample, because eventually the pressu
