Question

What are the different applications of boyle's law ?

Answer 1

An example of Boyle's law in action can be seen in a balloon. Air is blown into the balloon; the pressure of that air pushes on the rubber, making the balloon expand. If one end of the balloon is squeezed, making the volume smaller, the pressure inside increased, making the un-squeezed part of the balloon expand out.

Answer 2

Boyle's Law is very useful for SCUBA divers.

Applications of Boyle's law:

• A bicycle pump is an excellent example of Boyle's Law in action. When you press the pump, the volume inside the bike pump drops, and the pressure of the air rises, causing it to be forced into the tire. If we substitute any value for the pressure, the result changes as well.
• Boyle's Law can also be used to explain how a syringe works. When the plunger of a syringe is drawn out, the volume inside the barrel increases, causing the pressure inside the barrel to decrease. Fluids (such as water) flow from a high to a low-pressure location.
• Boyle's law is used to predict the outcome of changing the initial state of a constant quantity of gas only in pressure and volume. This is the idea we use and apply in our daily lives, even when we use a pressure cooker to make food. Rice is said to be cooked when the water boils.
