Regular medicinal use of marijuana is a fairly new practice. For that reason, its effects on people who are weakened because of age or illness are still relatively unknown. Older people and those suffering from diseases such as cancer or AIDS could be more vulnerable to the drugâs harmful effects.
For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.
In order to introduce the critical temperature and the critical pressure of a working substance (WS), consider the pressure () - volume () plot diagramed in Figure 1, which highlights the change in volume with the application of pressure for a fixed mass of gas, found at different constant temperatures.
