Boyles law can be used to explain part of the process by which air enters and leaves the lungs during breathing. Which of the fo

llowing statements are true?
a. During exhalation, the diaphragm is raised, increasing the pressure in the lungs and resulting in air being forced out of the lungs.
b.A decrease in volume results in an increase in pressure.
c. During inhalation, the diaphragm is raised, increasing the pressure in the lungs and allowing air to flow into the lungs.
d. When the diaphragm is lowered, volume decreases and pressure increases.

The answer iiiis...C: During inhalation, the diaphragm is raised, increasing the pressure in the lungs and allowing air to flow into the lungs.


<h3>Here's Why:</h3>

When we breathe in, we're taking air from the room and temporarily storing it in our lungs. As the air is inhaled, our lungs expand; when air is exhaled, our lungs shrink back to their original state.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, in any ideal gas, the pressure exerted by the gas and its volume is inversely proportional to one another, considering it to be at a constant temperature.

This law is applicable in case of respiration also. When the air is inhaled, the diaphragm is raised, as a result of which the pressure exerted on the lungs increases and eventually allows the air to flow into the lungs.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Is there a way to tell whether or not to put two double bonds or not. For example SeS2 seems to work if it has two double bonds
Nina [5.8K]
Your first step should be to analyse the compound. For example, if the compound is carbon, you know it always has a valence of four, so, if it has a formula C2H4 (ethylene) it obviously has a double bond. There are difficulties here because benzene C6H6 can be considered to have 6 1.5 C-C bonds, being aromatic.

A second step is to look at its structure. Double bonds are traditionally shorter than single bonds; triple bonds shorter still. Covalent bonds do have typical lengths, nevertheless you can still have problems.

<span>A third step is to consider reactivity. For example, if you have a C=C double bond, you can add, say, bromine to it Thus C2H4 gives C2H4Br2, and by adding two bromine atoms you know you have one double bond. Again, benzene becomes an awkward molecule, but because of this, you know benzene does not have double bonds in the traditional sense</span>
