This gas law explains why the volume of hot air increases when it is heated in a balloon.

What is Charles Law?

100

This gas law says that when the temperature goes up, the pressure goes up, as long as the volume stays the same.

What is Gay-Lussac’s Law?

What is the equation for Gay-Lussacs's gas law?

P1/T1=P2/T2

This law explains why a balloon will pop if you take it high enough into the atmosphere.

What is Boyle's Law?

What is Charles Law Equation.

V1/T1=V2/T2

Why does a hot air balloon rise  when the air inside it is heated?

The hot air expands and becomes less dense than the cooler air outside

What Gas Law explains how pressure increases inside the popcorn kernel as it heats up?

 What gas law do stars follow?

What is ideal gas law?

300

Is the air more dense within the balloon or the air that resides outside the balloon.

What is outside the balloon?

What gas law are rockets related to?

What is Boyle's Law?

What causes popcorn to pop?

The water evaporates, increasing the pressure until the shell bursts.

What needs to be carefully controlled inside a spaceship to keep the crew alive and comfortable.

What is pressure?

400

A hot air balloon has a volume of 3,000 m³ when the air inside is at 300 K. If the air is heated to 360 K, what will the new volume of the balloon be, assuming pressure remains constant?

What is 3,600 m3

How many gas laws occur in space?

What is 5?

What does the Ideal Gas Law tell us about the gas inside the popcorn kernel?

It helps us calculate pressure, volume, and temperature for a gas.

According to Charle’s Law, if you increase the temperature of gas in a sealed and flexible container in space, what would happen to its volume?


What is increase?

Explain how the charles gas law makes a hot air balloon fly.

What is the temperature of the flame makes the has inside of the envelope increase in volume inflating the envelope?

What makes a popcorn kernel pop?

 Water inside the kernel turns to steam, builds pressure, and bursts the shell

500

Suppose a sealed popcorn kernel contains water vapor at an initial temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1.0 atm. As the kernel is heated, the temperature of the water vapor increases to 450 K, what is the new pressure?

What is 1.5 atm
