TRANSCRIPT

Chemistry Lab Andy Daswani Part I: Boyles LawA sample of gas is trapped in a sealed container, which has a movable lid. Moving the lid up or down will change the volume inside the container. You will use an attached manometer to measure the pressure inside the container.Procedure:Move the lid of the container up or down. Record the resulting volume and pressure inside the container.Continue this process until data is obtained for at least six different volume and pressure combinations. Be sure to use a range of volume measurements to help you better compare the relationship of volume and pressure.Data and Observations:Present all relevant data in a data table below. Include an observations section for any observations that you made during the lab. Graph:Create an XY scatterplot (line graph) of your data for this part of the lab. Please do not make a bar graph for this type of data. You may use any graphing tool to create the graph. Be sure to follow common guidelines for creating a graph. (Ex. appropriate title, scale the axis properly, and label the axis points).Conclusion:Answer the following questions after completing the lab.Describe the relationship that you observed between pressure and volume in this lab. Refer to your data and/or graph to help support your answer.According to the graph, as the Volume in mL decreases, the Pressure in kPa increases. This concludes me to believe there is a relationship between Volume and Pressure.Do you think there is a point at which volume cannot be decreased any further for this sealed container of gas? Explain your answer in terms of what you know about the properties and characteristics of gases.As the volume shrinks, there is less space for the gas. This means the gas molecules are forced closer together. Once there is no more space for the gas molecules to move, the volume can no longer decrease.Part II: Charless LawProcedure:Carefully measure the volume of the trapped gas using the graduations (markings) on the side of the container. Read and record the temperature of the gas using the thermometer attached to the container. Use the buttons on the heater to change the temperature of the gas. The volume of the gas will change in response to the temperature change. Notice that the container is sealed and the pressure is adjusted so that it remains constant. Measure and record the volume and temperature of the contained gas.Continue this process until data is obtained for at least six different temperatures. Be sure that the temperatures represent a large range of values in order to help you answer questions about the relationship between temperature and volume.Data and Observations:Present all relevant data in a data table below. Include an observations section for any observations you made during the lab.Graph: Create an XY scatterplot (line graph) of your data for this part of the lab. Please do not make a bar graph for this type of data. You may use any graphing tool to create the graph. Be sure to follow common guidelines for creating a graph. (Ex. appropriate title, scale the axis properly, and label the axis points). Be sure to graph temperature in the unit kelvin and volume in the unit liters.Conclusion:Answer the following question regarding this part of the lab.Describe the relationship between volume and temperature, referring to your data and/or graph to support your answer.By looking at the graph, it seems that the temperature rises as the volume does. Unlike Boyle's Law, this graph has both X and Y increasing instead of one increasing and one decreasing.
