Gas Laws Examples in Real Life

Boyle's Law - The bubbles exhaled by a scuba diver grow as the approach the surface
of the ocean. The deeper you go in the ocean the higher the pressure becomes so the
closer you are to the surface the lesser the pressure.

Charles's Law - A football inflated inside and then taken outdoors on a winter day
shrinks slightly. The inside of a house is warmer than outside on a winter day.

Gay-Lussac's Law - the shooting of a gun. As gunpowder burns, it creates superheated

gas, which forces the bullet out of the gun barrel following Gay-Lussac's Law. Other
everyday life examples can be found in things that use gas and pressure in order to
function.

Avogadro's Law - A flat tire takes up less space than an inflated tire.

Lungs expand as they fill with air. Exhaling decreases the volume of the lungs.

A balloon filled with helium weighs much less than an identical balloon filled with
air.

Combined Gas Law - an example of this is a combustion engine. The engine takes in
fuel(volume) ignites it which increases the temperature which then creates pressure
which pushes the piston of the engine making it run.

Ideal Gas Law - The high pressured gas tanks, cannisters and cisterns. That is why a
typical cistern, used for gas transportation, carries the gasses in highly compressed
states, because if you put the gas into the cannister under high pressure, you can carry
around gasses in huge quantities
