A+Look+into+Boyle's+Law!

  (The top picture is an animated version of "Boyles Law" from Glen Research Center) Boyle's Law by Mason Head PV=K            <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  A hand pump inflating a bicycle tire will get hot. Why? It has to do with the behavior of gasses. When a   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  gas    <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  is compressed into a smaller volume, its temperature and/or pressure increase. The reverse is also true. When allowed to expand rapidly, a gas's temperature decreases. One can freeze   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  carbon dioxide    <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  by opening the valve of a compressed carbon dioxide gas cylinder and improvising a filter to catch the dry ice particles. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">     <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  The mathematical relationships between the volume, pressure, and temperature of a gas are often taught and learned as a law: Boyle's law. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">      <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">      <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  P(Pressure)   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  V   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  =   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  k   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  (Constant)    <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  ......What does this mean? Let's take an adventure into Boyle's Law....   <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">     <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">     Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. The law can also be stated in a slightly different manner, that the product of absolute pressure and volume is always constant. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">    <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-size: 110%; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 5, 255);">SIMPLE TERMS- This means with a constant flow of heat the pressure and density or volume of gas are proportional. <span style="color: rgb(255, 10, 10); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;">  __//VOLUME DECREASES AND PRESSURE INCREASES//__ <span style="color: rgb(0, 31, 148);"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 10, 10); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 31, 148);">Say your have a Balloon filled with air (and Gas Molecules, Since gas is made up of molecules that bounce off the walls of the balloon). As they bounce off the walls you apply pressure the outside of the balloon they bounce more often because they have less space to move until you apply so much force the strength of the rubber of the balloon pops. This is because the molecules applied so much pressure. This part of Boyle's law has nothing to do with temperature. <span style="color: rgb(0, 31, 148);"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 10, 10); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 31, 148);">But if you did have the temp. as a factor know that Gas molecules move slower with a colder temperature and faster with a relatively higher temperature.
