Question

What are the three rules of air pressure

Answer 1

The air pressure is based on three rules or laws which are Boyle’s law, Charles’ law and Avagadro’s law.

Explanation:

The pressure of air depends on temperature, volume and amount of gas particles. So, according to Boyle’s law, the pressure of air will be inversely proportional to volume occupied by the gas molecules at constant temperature.

`\text { Pressure exerted by the air } \propto \frac{1}{\text {Volume occupied by the air}}`

And then the Charles’ law state that the air molecules occupying a volume depends on the temperature of the air molecules. In other words, volume occupied by gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure and amount of air molecules.

`\text { Volume occupied by air } \propto \text { Temperature of the air molecules }`

And by Avagadro’s law, the volume of air is directly proportional to the amounts of air molecules in that volume.

`\text {Volume occupies by the air } \propto \text { Amount of air molecules in the desired volume}`

So, these three rules decide the motion of gases.
