Submit: a data document and graph with questions. Introduction: The relationship between gas pressure and its volume (with a constant temperature) was first described by Robert Boyle in 1662 and is commonly called Boyle’s Law. GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: http://eontent.blackgold.ca/ict/Division4/Science/Div.%204/Boyles%20Law/boyleslaw.htm On the website is a Flash simulation of a syringe and a pressure gauge. This simulation uses a moveable syringe with a maximum volume of 30 mL. The pressure is measured in psi (pounds per square inch), Remember from our discussion of units of pressure - 14.7 psi = 101.3 kPa The starting volume of 30.0 mL is at standard pressure, 1 atm or 14.7 psi. We will examine how pressure changes as the volume in the syringe is decreased, Procedure: 1, Choose ANY ONE of the four available gasses (make sure all your data and graphs note this gas) 2. Start collecting data for your chosen gas by dragging the plunger to continuous, incremental volumes. The pressure will read on the gauge and be recorded in the accompanying table. 3. Collect the pressure values for 8 distinetly different volumes. 4, Draw a graph of pressure vs. volume (pressure on y-axis and volume on the x-axis). Include a title and labels (including units) on the axis **put pressure into kPa units and volume in mL. Questions: 1. How does the pressure change when the volume of the gas was decreased? Is this a direct or inverse relationship? 2. Using the graph of your data , determine the value for the following questions: a, Ifthe volume is doubled from 10.0 mL to 20,0 mL, what does your data show happens to the pressure? Show the pressure values from your graph. b. Ifthe volume is halved from 30.0 mL to 15.0 mL, what does your data show happens to the pressure? Show the pressure values from your graph. c. Ifthe volume is tripled from 7.0 mL to 21.0 mL, what does your data show happens to the pressure? Show the pressure values from your graph. 3. If this relationship is direct, then pressure divided by volume will equal a constant value (k = P/V). Ifthe relationship is inverse, then pressure multiplied by volume will equal a constant value (k = P+V). Based on your answer to Question #1, choose the correct formula and calculate k for the pressure- volume pairs in your data table (divide or multiply the P and V values). If you choose correctly, the calculated values should be similar. Show the answers in a separate column of the table. Answer the following questions. Remember that showing all your work is good practice. 1. Gas is placed into a syringe until the pressure is 45.0 kPa.
