Question

why mountaineers take to carry oxygen cylinder with them? Explain it according to Boyle's law​

Answer 1

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the density of gas is directly proportional to pressure. ... Thus, at higher altitudes, as the atmospheric pressure is low, the air is less dense. As a result less oxygen is available for breathing. That is why mountaineers have to carry oxygen cylinders with them

Answer 2

Answer:

• Boyle’s Law states that ‘at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies inversely with the volume of the gas.’
• Mountaineers have to carry oxygen cylinders with them to restore normal breathing because at high altitude the density of air is less. That means less oxygen molecules occupy the same volume. Therefore, oxygen in air becomes insufficient for normal breathing. So, to avoid this situation oxygen cylinders are employed to restore normal breathing.
