Question

Provide some examples of the various gas laws in everyday life.

Answer 1

(1)helium balloon-the temperature on a cold day is low, and, so, the volume decreases and tge balloon crumbles and on entering a warm room, the temperature increases; with an increase in temperature, the volume also increases. Therefore, the balloon goes back to its original shape.

(2)Bakery-Yeast is often used in baking to make the bakery products fluffy. Yeast is responsible for releasing carbon dioxide bubbles. These carbon dioxide bubbles expand further with high temperature. The expansion of the carbon dioxide bubbles with an increase in temperature works as a leavening agent and cause the bakery products to become fluffy.

(3)Deodorant spray bottle-There is warning signs indicating the bottle to be kept away from the sunlight and high temperature in the instructions and this is because in high temperatures, the air molecules inside the bottle will expand which can lead to the bursting of the deodorant bottle.

(4)automotive engines-In spark ignition, gases from the very process of combustion are exposed to high temperature. Increase in temperature will lead to an increase in the volume of the gases. As this process continues, the force against the cylinder and piston head is increased, which causes rotation of the crankshaft. In diesel engines involving the process of compression ignition, the air is compressed under high temperature. This heated air combines with diesel fuel which is injected into the cylinder. The aforesaid process is responsible for the ignition of the diesel fuel.
