Henry's law is one of the gas laws, stating that the amount a gas dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. As pressure builds, more nitrogen and oxygen gets absorbed by the blood in the body, and it tends to get absorbed faster than it gets released, meaning that when you resurface and the pressure declines, the gas in the blood is still increased.

Why is the boyles law applicable only the idealgases?

Not true. It applies to real gases that are exhibiting ideal behavior. Any gas that is not 'close' to its boiling and is at a 'low' pressure will behave like an ideal gas and Boyle's Law can be applied. Remember there is no such thing as an ideal gas, so when Boyle did his experiments and came up with his law he was using a real gas, probably just air.


Does air lose heat as it moves faster?

Yes it does the gas law that applies here says increase in velocity = decrease in temperature and pressure.


Explain what is meant by the partial pressure of a gas and how it applies to respiration?

Partial pressure of a gas applied to respiration is explained by Dalton's Law. It states that in every mixture of gas, each individual gas has its own pressure that makes up the total pressure of gas.


Identify the gas law that is used to describe gas behavior under a specific set of circumstances.?

Charles' Law and other observations of gases are incorporated into the Ideal Gas Law. The Ideal Gas Law states that in an ideal gas the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and mass as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles (a measure of mass), R is the gas constant, and T is temperature. While this law specifically applies to ideal gases, most gases approximate the Ideal Gas Law under most conditions. Of particular note is the inclusion of density (mass and volume) and temperature, indicating a relationship between these three properties.The relationship between the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of a gas ~APEX

The law of combining volumes applies only to gas volumes?

The law of combining volumes states that the ratios of volumes of reacting gases can be expressed as small whole number ratios. This law is based on the assumption that gases behave ideally, meaning they occupy the same amount of space as predicted by the ideal gas law. Therefore, this law does not apply to the volumes of liquids or solids.
