Question

The air is denser at the sea level than it is elsewhere, due to the high pressure at the sea. What is this an implication of?

• A. Charles' law
• B. Boyle's law
• C. Avogadro's law
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is B Boyle's law

Boyles' law states that for a fixed mass of a perfect gas, at constant temperature, the product of its pressure and volume is always a constant. In other words, at constant temperature, gases occupy lesser volume for higher pressure.
At the sea level, the air is denser due to the high pressure. Higher density indicates a lower volume as density is inversely proportional to it. Therefore, the given case is an implication of Boyle's law.
