What gas law is applied to cooking higher than 2000ft above sea level?

Gay Lussacs. Lower atmospheric pressure causes water to boil at a lower temperature

What gas law is applied to popcorn popping?

What is Gay-Lussacs Law

100
What gas law is applied to how internal combustion car engines work?

What is Boyles Law?

100

What gas law is applied to airbags to make them inflate?

What is the Ideal Gas Law.

200

Using a pressure cooker at high altitude, Initally the temperature inside the sealed cooker is 20°C and the pressure is 1atm. Heating the cooker to 120°C. Assuming no gas escapes what is the new pressure inside the cooker?

The new pressure is 1.34atm. using the conversion of Celsius to kelvin.

200

What Gas law equation is applied to the function of popcorn popping?

What is P1/T1 =P2/T2

200

What equation is used in Internal combustion car engines?

What is P1V1=P2V2?

200

How is the Ideal gas law used for the inflation of airbags?

What is it helps to determine the required amount of Nitrogen gas needed to inflate the airbags to a specific pressure and volume in the blink of an eye!

300
How is Gay Lussacs Law shown in high-elevation cooking?

What is 

If the volume is constant and you increase the pressure (like at a higher elevation), the temperature increases ( meaning the temperature for something to cook would be higher )

300

How does Gay lussacs law apply to the physical characteristics of popcorn?

What is…. As the temperature rises (to about 180°C or 356°F), the moisture becomes steam and the starch inside the kernel turns soft and gelatinous. The moisture inside the kernel turns into steam when heated. As the steam builds up, pressure increases inside the kernel. The pressure eventually causes the kernel to explode, and the soft starch rapidly expands and cools into the fluffy popcorn we eat.

300

How is Boyles law used in internal combustion car engines?

The pressure inside a car engine's cylinder increases when the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture.

300

What is the equation used in the inflation of airbags?

What is PV=nRT 

400

The Gay Lussac´s law shows the relationship between what two units shown in cooking in high altitudes?

What is Pressure and Temperature. Shown with the equation P1/T1=P2/T2

400

When the temperature inside a kernel reaches 433 K, the internal pressure becomes high enough to make it pop. Before heating, the kernel was at room temperature (293 K) and had an internal pressure of 1.0 atm.

Assuming the volume of the kernel stays constant until it pops, what is the internal pressure inside the kernel just before it pops?

What is about 1.48 atm.

400

During the compression stage the piston reduces the volume of the gas from 500cm³ to 100cm³, while keeping the temperature constant. the inital pressure of the gas is 100KPa whats the final pressure?

What is 500Kpa?

400

In a car collision, 0.080 moles of nitrogen gas are released into an airbag with an initial volume of 0.010m^3 at 298K. Caculate the pressure.

What is 19.8KPa
