    Activity 2: Boyle's Law Objective

    Uploaded by

    aiko teodoro
    This document describes two experiments on gas laws: 1) Boyle's Law experiment uses a syringe sealed with glue to measure how volume changes with pressure. Weights are added to the plunger to increase pressure and volume is recorded. 2) Charles' Law experiment uses a balloon submerged in water at different temperatures (hot, warm, cold) to measure how volume changes with temperature at constant pressure. The balloon's circumference is measured before and after to determine the volume change. The experiments investigate the relationships between volume and pressure for Boyle's Law, and between volume and temperature for Charles' Law.

    Activity 2: Boyle’s Law

    Objective:
     Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of gases at
    constant temperature.

    Materials Needed:
     25 mL syringe  candle or glue gun
     glue stick  5” x 3” illustration board
     set of weights  6” x 4” x 0.25” wood
     ruler  match (if you opted to use candle)

    Procedure:
    1. Pull the syringe’s plunger to fill it with air. See to it that the reading is
    at approximately 25.0 mL.
    2. Seal the syringe’s opening with the melted glue stick.
    3. Make a hole that is close to the size of the opening of the syringe in a
    6” x 4” flat wood. Screw the flat wood on a stable object. In an upright
    position, insert the sealed part of the syringe in the hole of the wood;
    be sure it is sturdy.
    4. Paste a 5” x 3” illustration board at the end of the syringe’s plunger.
    This will serve as the weights’ holder. You have just made a Boyle’s Law
    Apparatus.
    5. Place a 200-g weight on the holder and get the volume reading.
    6. Place one at a time different weights on the syringe’s plunger.
    If you do not have set of weights, you may use books of the same kind.
    Don’t forget to get the mass of each book.
    7. Record the mass of the volume reading using Table 5.

    Force = mass (kg) x acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)


    r2 –Surface area of the syringe

    Q1. What happens to the volume of the syringe as the set of weights is
    added on top of it?

    Q2. What happens to the pressure on the syringe when the set of weights
    is added?

    Activity 3: Charles’ Law

    Objective:
     Investigate the relationship between volume and temperature at
    constant pressure.

    Materials Needed:
     rubber balloon  thermometer
     tap water  alcohol lamp
     hot water  tape measure
     ice  beakers

    Procedure:
    1. Prepare three beakers (one for ice water, one for tap water, and
    another one for hot water).
    2. Inflate the balloon.
    3. Measure the circumference of the balloon using a tape measure.
    4. Get the temperature reading of the hot water.
    5. Put the balloon in hot water for two (2) minutes, then measure its
    circumference.
    6. Do three trials and get the average of the results.
    7. Repeat procedures 3 to 6 using tap water.
    8. Repeat procedures 3 to 6. This time use ice water.
    9. Record the results in the Table 7.

    Q1. As the temperature decreases, what happens to the
    size of the balloon?

    Q2. How does the change in the temperature relate to


    the volume of gas in the balloon?
