This episode explains two fundamental gas laws: Boyle's Law and Charles's Law. It explains that Boyle's Law describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature, using a scuba diving example to illustrate how an increase in pressure causes a decrease in volume. Charles's Law describes the direct relationship between a gas's volume and its absolute temperature in Kelvin, emphasizing that temperature must be in Kelvin for the math to work. The episode uses a hot air balloon analogy and a practical problem to demonstrate how heating a gas increases its volume.
