A bottle is filled with water, with a dropper inside. The bottle is closed and squeezed, the dropper goes to the bottom. Identify what law is demonstrated?

i didn't take chemistry and i don't give a fuck

:oh_no:
anyway, there are no sites that have this answer.

I know it has to do with pressure.

WOuld it be: increase the pressure, decrease the volume? I thinl that is Boyle's law

lmk what you all think

That sounds familiar. I remember this damn problem too.

I dont think its Boyles law though.
"A practical application illustrating Boyles Law would be the action of a syringe. When we draw fluids into a syringe, we increase the volume inside the syringe, this correspondingly decreases the pressure on the inside where the pressure on the outside of the syringe is greater and forces fluid into the syringe. If we reverse the actin and push the plunger in on the syringe we are decreasing the volume on the inside which will increase the pressure inside making the pressure greater than on the outside and fluids are forced out. "

Similar, but Im not sure if it applies here.

that makes sense, I really dont know of a law that we learned that is pertinable to this situation.

There are a number of different phenomena at work here, but I'm not really sure which one your chemistry teach is after here.

If you could come up with a list of laws that have been discussed in your class, I could probably tell you which one he/she's after.

ideal gas law
conservation of mass
Boyles Law
Charles Law
Hunds Rule
conservation of energy
and the one that states that only 2 electrons can be in any orbital

I am almost positive that she did not teach us this law, she just wants us to find it out.

thanks for all the help!
