Gas Laws And Anesthesia Quiz! Trivia Quiz - Quiz

Different gases cause different effects when inhaled by people and animals. It is by researching the effect of gasses that Henry Boyle became the best anaesthetists of his time. Do you know how to correctly and safely gas a patient for a procedure? This quiz is ideal for testing out how true that is. How about you give it a try and see what new facts you learn.

Questions and Answers

1.

What does Boyle's law state?
- A.
  
  At a constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.
- B.
  
  The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the liquid and indirectly proportional to temperature.
- C.
