laws

Charles's and Boyle's laws

This post will be shorter than the rest, because I really don't want spend that much of time on laws. So, today, it will just be facts and some opinion.

Charles's Law: "When the temperature of a gas is elevated at constant pressure, it's volume increases." -- taken from my science book (Interactive Science: Introduction to Chemistry)

1st container: less heat=less volume
2nd container: more heat more volume
This basically means when you have some sort of gas, like helium, and you raise the heat, the volume of the gas gets larger And when the heat is lowered, so is the volume. Example is above.

Boyle's Law: When the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased, the volume of a gas decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increased. Look at example below.




Since, today's topic was a bit boring, here are some chemistry jokes to make you laugh:


Two atoms are walking down the street.
Says one atom to the other, "Hey! I think I lost an electron!"
The other says, "Are you sure??"
"Yes, I'm positive!"

What do you do with a dead chemists?  Barium



See you guys next time with periodic tables!
