Problem
Explain why a can of soda pop explodes if left in the hot sun. Explain why bicycle tires seem more flat in the winter than in summer. A rigid container filled with a gas is placed in ice (ex. nalgene bottle]. What will happen to the pressure of the gas? What do you think will happen to the volume? An infected tooth forms an abscess {area of infected tissue) that fills with gas. The abscess puts pressure on the nerve of the tooth, causing a toothache. While waiting to see a dentist, the person with the toothache tried to relieve the pain by treating the infected area with moist heat. Will this treatment help? Why or why not? Explain what happens when you pop bubble wrap bubbles in terms of the five gas law variables.
