If a gas will expand to fill the available space (container) does this still hold true if the "container" is the atmosphere?
Assuming the gas(es) can escape (either in molecular or in subs - atoms) from the area around the Earth containing our atmosphere this means that the gas is not contained so Bolye's law is not applicaable as the this makes the contain non-finite (not contained).
If this is the case (non-finite area) ?? then does Boyle's law hold for, for example water evaporation, where it could (although not likely) escape the system.
Thank you
