Gas Laws Lab
Part 1 – The effect of temperature on gas volume
Problem: Which gas law describes these results (Paper assignment)?
Observation/ Research: Charles’s Law
According to Jacques Charles, “if the temperature of the gas increases, the volume of the gas also will be increased or other way around.” (Charles). This statement describes Charles Law. According to this law, “the Volume and Temperature are directly proportional and pressure is held constant” (Charles). This shows that V/T = k, where k is constant. So, the formula of this law is: V1/T1 = V2/T2 (Charles’s Law)

Hypothesis: If the temperature of the gas within the syringe is decreased, then the …show more content…

Observation/ Research: Boyle’s Law
As Robert Boyle stated “Pressure and Volume are inversely related. To add more, temperature and moles are constant.” (Boyle). So, if Pressure increases, then the volume decreases or the other way around. This is Boyle’s Law. According to this law, P x V = k, where k is a constant. The formula of this law is: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 (Boyle’s Law)

Hypothesis: If the pressure of the gas in the syringe increases putting on the books one by one, the volume of the gas within the syringe will decrease as well.
Materials:
4 Books Scale Syringe Meter
Methods of testing:
First of all, we weighted (in grams) the books and noted in a table. Then, we measured the height, width and the length of the books in inches. After we finished with the measures, we took the syringe holding upright and adding the books one by one. While putting the books we recorded the pressure. First we recorded the pressure of the first book on the syringe and then we add the second and so on. With the measurements of the length, width and height, we found SA. We divided mass and SA to find the pressure 2 and then with the formula of Boyle’s Law we were able to find Today’s Pressure …show more content…

According to the results, k has not changed. Pressure on the gas within the syringe was increased while the volume of the gas was decreased. And these results approve the hypothesis. As Boyle’s Law states that temperature and moles should be held constant, also in the lab they were held constant. If the books and syringe would be allowed to sit for one hour the pressure would be increased more. While the pressure would be increased, the volume of the gas within the syringe would be

  • Gummy Bear Lab

    In this lab, we soaked a gummy bear in water for twenty four hours to see the effects osmosis would have on it. When we got our gummy bear we would take its measurements and soak it in water. After twenty four hours we would take it out and record the measurements again and find the percent change. The question that we addressed in this lab was, what would happen if you soaked a gummy bear in water for twenty four hours? I hypothesized that after this time the gummy bear would increase in size.

    In addition, for calculating the mass of the pennies and the unknown substance, zero the balance and place it in the weigh boat to receive the data. Lastly, to calculate the density of the substances, use the formula D=MV, in which dividing the mass by the volume allows to do so. In order to be certain of the data that is collected, running multiple trials could help be accurate. A method to get an average value of the density can be expressed by the formula D1+D22. This formula basically allows one to add the data of all the trials and divide it by the number of trials that was performed.

    Kinetic theory states that molecules are always in constant motion. Kinetic energy and molecule velocity increases as temperature increases. Reactions require collisions between reactant molecules or atoms. In chemical reactions, the reactants change into products when molecule collide with enough energy to break old bonds to make new ones. Collisions increase or become more violent between molecules at higher temperatures or decrease as the temperature is lowered.

    Based on several pieces of data it is now understood that when you remove pressure, volume rises. The data that supports this claim is the Candle in a Jar experiment. In this experiment, you pour water into a plate, light a candle, place it in the middle of the plate, then cover it up with a cup. The flame uses up the oxygen in the cup and it creates low air pressure. The pressure outside tries to push in.

    3.1.3 Aquatic Environment – Density Water Density The balloon which is filled with helium gas weighs less than the air then it displaces. In other words, it is a lighter gas for the same volume, means it is less dense. Density of any substance is the weight of a specific volume and its unit is grams / liter or lbs / cubic foot. If wood is less dense than water it will float in the water.

    On January 18, 2015, the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts played in the AFC Championship game in a chilly temperature of 51°F. The Patriots were accused of cheating when, at half time, 11 of their 12 game balls were found to be two pounds psi less than the regulation size of 12.5 to 13.5 psi. Although the balls are gauged 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the game, they are returned to the teams before the game started. Based on extensive research and data, the Patriots’ balls were tampered with prior to the game. Objects with gaseous interiors have a tendency to decrease in pressure when exposed to cold temperatures but the decrease will only be minor.

    The potential space between the instinctive and parietal pleurae is known as the intrapleural space. The intrapleural and intrapulmonary pressures fluctuate amid ventilation. The intrapulmonary pressure is subatmospheric amid inspiration and more prominent than the atmospheric pressure amid expiration. Pressure changes in the lungs are delivered by varieties in lung volume, as per the opposite relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas portrayed by Boyle's law. The mechanics of ventilation are affected by the physical properties of the lungs.

    The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.

    In the Penny Boat Lab, we made a boat to hold pennies in water. First, we collected materials we needed which were scissors, a ruler, water, pennies, aluminum foil, a triple beam balance and a container. Using the ruler, we measured the foil 15cm by 15cm, then cut excess pieces. Next, we had to fold the foil into a “boat”. After, we measured the mass of our boat using the triple beam balance.

We can see the different things and situations that can affect the normal process of ventilation and respiration, like the weather and the clothes that were limitations for doing this experiment because first the weather was so hot, so the person get tired early and began to ventilate faster and second the clothes wasn't appropriate for making the activities, because they also make weight and makes that the person get more tired. We use more than one person to make a comparison of the ventilation

    Bernoulli’s theorem is a special application of the laws of motion and energy. The principle equation describes the pressure measured at any point in a fluid, which can be a gas or a liquid, to the density and the velocity of the specified flow. The theorem can be explained by the means of imagining a particle in a cylindrical pipe. If the pressure on both sides of the particle in the pipe is equal, the particle will be stationary and in equilibrium.

  • Simple Rocket Theory: Only A Simple Water Bottle Rocket

    Analysis: Although only a simple water bottle rocket, it still applies to basic rocket theory. The simplest equation which applies is Tsiolkovsky's equation which describes a device that can apply acceleration to itself (a thrust) by expelling part of its mass with high speed and thereby move due to the conservation of momentum. In short the momentum which the rocket gains is that momentum which the water loses as it is expelled. The equation is: ∆v=V_e ln⁡(m_o/m_f ) Where: ∆v = change in velocity (m/s) V_e= velocity of exhaust leaving nozzle (m/s)
