Question

With reference to the boyle's law explain why mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them

Answer 1

HEYA!!!


HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.


FIRSTLY, 

⇒ WHAT IS BOYLE'S LAW? 

→ Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to it's volume.


⇒  NOW USAGE OF BOYLE'S LAW IN THIS QUESTION :

→ Now since density depends upon volume that is when volume decreases, density increases. Now as we go to higher altitudes or when mountaineers go to higher altitude, the atmospheric "pressure" over there is low thus volume of the air in high which in turn shows us that the density of the air is less at higher altitudes. 

Since the density of air is less, the oxygen level at higher altitudes is also very less and that's the reason why mountaineers 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.
