    This document contains 5 questions about gas behavior and properties. The questions ask about why snowshoes prevent falling through snow but boots don't, why an astronaut's fluids would boil without a pressurized suit at high altitudes, why ears pop on airplanes as altitude increases, why empty soda bottles cave in after freezing, and how pressure changes with increasing temperature for a constant volume gas according to Gay-Lussac's Law.

    Behavior of Gases – Ch. 8


    1. Using the definition of pressure, explain why snowshoes prevent you from falling through the snow
    whereas normal snow boots do not.

    2. At 20,000 m elevation, an astronaut’s body fluids would boil if not protected by a pressurized cabin
    or space suit. Explain why this is true.

    3. As you rise to higher altitudes in an airplane, your ears pop. Explain why this occurs. Which gas
    law is the basis of your explanation?

    4. An empty, sealed 2-L soda bottle caves in after sitting in the freezer. Explain why this occurs.
    Which gas law is the basis of your explanation?

    5. Gay-Lussac’s Law describes the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas. If the
    volume of a gas is held constant, what do you think will happen to the pressure as temperature
    increases? Consider the effect of temperature on particles and the definition of pressure.
