Why is it important to understand gas laws in industries?
Consider the risks involved with improper gas handling.
What application of gas laws involves the behavior of gases in balloons?
Think about where you see gas laws in daily life.

Consider what happens to gas volumes in balloons when atmospheric pressure changes.
A gas is filled into a balloon at a pressure of 1 atm and volume of 2L. If the balloon flies to a point where the pressure is 0.5 atm, what will be the new volume of the balloon? Use Boyle’s Law.
Think about how pressure and volume change when gas expands.
A scuba diver descends from a depth where the pressure is 3 atm. If the volume of air in their tank at this depth is 10L, what will be the volume when they surface (1 atm)?
