GAS LAWS
the 5 gas laws
Boyles law
The relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.
Charles law
The volume of a gas is directly related to the temperature when there is no change in pressure or amount of gas
Daltons law
In a mixture of non reacting gases the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases
Gay-Lussacs law
The relationship between pressure and temperature when volume and amount are held constant
Henrys law
At a constant temperature the amount of given gas that dissolves in a given type in volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
The Bends
You can get it by being at high altitude when dissolved gases come out of solution in bubbles. The dangers are the joints on your body wont function properly. Side effects of the condition are decompression sickness. The treatment is treated in a hyperbaric recompression chamber. Henry's law is related with this because if the scuba diver goes fast then there will be more bubbles.
Air Embolisms
Air embolisms are caused by pressure allowing air to travel to your veins and arteries when they are exposed. The symptoms and dangers are chest pain and heart failure and difficulty breathing. Treatment is doctors fixing your body so air is getting inside and you will need surgery. Boyles law is related to this because more movement is more air flow.
Oxygen Toxicity
You get oxygen toxicity by breathing molecular oxygen at increased partial pressures. You can get hyperoxia which causes seizures and retinal detachment. You can not treat it. Daltons law is related to this because the air is toxic at higher levels.
