Boyle's Law would be applicable to eating a bean burrito before a deep dive. Due to the pressure at depth, the fart would be squeezed to a very small volume, and would not need to escape before ascending. However, once the diver began his ascent, the pressure would decrease and the volume would increase. This would lead to two possible outcomes.... a) the diver "blow bubbles" all the way to the surface,:D or b) the diver explodes during his ascent!:11:

Oh, and "PV=nRT" is the Universal Gas Law.
 
Bubble Junky:
Is that not the Ideal Gas Law ?

Well, ideally, it is universal... :D
 
Bubble Junky:
Is that not the Ideal Gas Law ?

Could be, it's been a few years since I took that class...
 
Charles' Law is the winner :blinking:

Correction Charles' Law

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so 'profound', that the professor shared it with his colleagues via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Charles' Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Charles' Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'


THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.
 
Classic. I would have given him an A+ as well....just for making Teresa scream...:rofl3:
 
Yeah, the universal law. And the ideal gas law. But under most situations, gasses behave as if they were an "idea" gas.


And I never remember Charles or Boyle's, because if you use the Universal law, it has those two built in it. If temperature stays the same, then just bump it away :) I never saw the purpose of remembering multiple laws when you only needed one. It'd be like bringing one knife, one pair of scissors, tweezers, two screwdrivers and a can opener n a camping trip, when all you needed was a Swiss Army knife.

Yup, I'm with JahJah on this one- keep it simple- three laws are for robots. :D
