Aerosol Can Explosion

(Gay-Lusaac’s Law)

An aerosol can is another example because if it is exposed into a flame,

the temperature will increase so the pressure will too. The time, the
pressure would build up the can to explode. Moreover, there are
warnings on these cans because of that. The increased pressure may
cause the container to explode. You don't.
 Car Tires
(Gay-Lusaac’s Law)

Usually hot tires tend to explode in hot weather because hot weather
means more temperature which will let the pressure increase also
because they are directly proportional as Gay Lussac imposed. By
increasing temperature of the system we increase the pressure of the gas.
So when the pressure of the gas exceeds the elastic capability of the tire,
the tire explodes. This Phenomena expresses Gay Lusaac's Law of
Temperature and Pressure.
 Refrigerator
(Gay-Lusaac’s Law)

Refrigerators operate on the basis of gas expansion and temperature

changes. Compression of a coolant gas causes it to liquefy and increase
in temperature. The liquefied material then goes through a pinhole into
the evaporator, where it expands rapidly back into a gas and absorbs heat
from the surroundings.
 Vehicle Tire Vulcanize
(Boyle’s Law)

As you push air into the tire, the increasing pressure reduces the volume
of the air molecules by packing them together. The pressure in the pump
has to always be higher than that which is inside the tire in order for
more air to be pushed in. As the air temperature is more or less constant
in that period of time.
 Soda Can
(Boyle’s Law)

Opening the bottle too fast causes the drink to fizz excessively and spill
out of the bottle. The carbonation process of soda involves pushing in
CO2 through great pressure inside the water, reducing its volume, and
pushing it into a small confined space. So when the cap is opened
slowly, the pressure on the gas in the soda reduces, and is allowed to
gradually expand and escape from the bottle, producing fizz.
 Squeezing a Balloon
(Boyle’s Law)

As the balloon is squeezed the volume of the container decreases. This

increased the gas pressure inside the balloon. If the temperature of
a gas is held constant, then decreasing the volume of the gas increases its
pressure—and vice versa. Putting pressure on it, the volume inside is
actually reducing. If the pressure becomes too great the balloon pops.
 Basketball
(Charles Law)

As the temperature decreases, so do the volume of the gas inside the

basketball. This forms the example that at constant pressure, a decrease
in pressure will lead to a decrease in volume. However, the basketball
gains its volume back when the environment is changed, when you bring
it in a warm room.
 Deodorant Spray Bottle
(Charles Law)

When spray bottles are placed into sunlight or any other heat source, the
compressed air inside the bottles expands and sometimes can also burst
the bottles. Hence, it is always recommended to keep the spray bottles
away from the sunlight or high temperature which can lead to the
bursting of the deodorant spray bottle.
 Bakery
(Charles Law)

Yeast is often used in baking to make the bakery products fluffy. Yeast
is responsible for releasing carbon dioxide bubbles. These carbon
dioxide bubbles expand further with high temperature. The expansion of
the carbon dioxide bubbles with an increase in temperature works as a
leavening agent and cause the bakery products to become fluffy.
