an Irish philosopher, chemist, physicist, and inventor. He was born in Lismore, County Waterford, Republic of Ireland. He believed in corpuscularism, which stated that reality and change can be best seen through chemical experiments Two of Robert Boyle’s friends, Richard Towneley and Henry Power noted the relationship between volume and pressure before sharing it with Boyle. Robert Boyle was arguing against a scientist by the name of Franciscus Linus, who said that normal atmospheric air does not
This paper is going to discuss Boyle’s Law and how it relates to respiratory care. It will define what the law is, how it works, and why it is important to us. We use this law every day without even thinking about it. So many of our everyday activities and actions are related to certain gas laws that have been built into our lives at home and at work. Without many of the gas laws we would not have the advancements that we have today. Boyle’s Law has had a very important role in our lives. It
alchemy, the study of turning metals into gold. Boyle was a curious person and wasn’t going to settle for an answer that isn’t true or testable, so he decided to do his own experiments to prove his correctness. Boyle is best known for creating “Boyle’s Law” which according to brainpop.com is, “… an observation on the properties of gases that he published in 1662.” After experimenting one day, “Boyle realized that at a constant temperature, the product of a gas’s pressure and volume will always be
Cimone Toppin GSA: Somayeh (Sue) Chemistry 1101- 07 26 February 2017 Properties of Gases: Experiment 4 Report Procedure and Results Part I: Pressure and Volume (Boyle's law- inverse) During the first run through of the lab, Gas Pressure Sensor is connected to the LabQuest with a small plastic syringe connected to it. The syringe is set 15 mL marker (volume) and the pressure is recorded as 101.19 kPa. By changing the syringe 2 mL down for each run (4 times), the following volume and pressure reads
temperature, and pressure. The relation of pressure and volume is described as the Boyle’s law. The relation of pressure and temperature is described as the Gay-Lussac’s law. The most important resources needed for this experiment is the gas pressure sensor, a syringe, a cooling and heating source to increase temperature, and the Lab Quest application to record measurements and graph it. According to Boyle’s law, if the results of pressure versus volume have an inverse relationship,
pressure and volume of a gas given the temperature and # of molecules remained constant. Using the Boyle's law apparatus, and textbooks to demonstrate pressure it was concluded that there was a relationship between pressure and volume. However, the relationship was not a direct relationship, and it was determined that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportioned. Thus,proving Boyle's theory correct. Introduction Objectives: The main objective of this lab was to determine the
“If marijuana was legal, back-yard marijuana gardens would be in every neighborhood, thus kids would be able to get it as easy as taking fruit off a neighbor’s tree” (Johnathan Greens). According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 62.2 percent of the 14.2 billion people who used marijuana for the first time in one day were under the age of 18 years back in 2003. This increases by nearly 1.3 percent every year. This has become a problem due to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being the active
Thereafter the number fell in response to new conditions in Europe and to the limitations established by U.S. law. (which were to some extent unreasonably mimicked by Canadians eg:Chinese exclusion act) Legislation Regulating Immigration The first measure restricting immigration enacted by Congress was a law in 1862 forbidding American vessels to transport Chinese immigrants to Canada; 20 years later Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act excluding Chinese
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success Following the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success has made me the person that I am today. The laws that we have followed have been the Law of Pure Potentiality, the Law of Giving, the Law of Karma or Cause and Effect, the Law of Least Effort, the Law of Intention and Desire, the Law of Detachment, and the Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life. These laws have taught me that success is not a destination it is a journey. They have taught me that true success is the
Hong Kong The region of Hong Kong, which had long been a haven for coastal pirates was occupied by the British during the Opium War (1839-42). The colony prospered as an east-west trading center, the commercial gateway to, and distribution center for, South China. It was efficiently governed, and its banking, insurance, and shipping services quickly became known as the most reliable in Southeast Asia. In 1921 the British agreed to limit the fortifications of the colony
