Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. After plotting the graph manually according to the data obtained from the experiment, it shows that the pressure of air is linearly proportional to the temperature of air at constant volume. In order to obtain the value of absolute zero from …show more content…
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperate at which particles have minimal vibrational motion. By international agreement, the value of absolute zero is 0 Kelvin on the Kelvin scale or -273.15 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale.
Theory
Gay-Lussac’s law
Gay-Lussac’s law applies to fixed mass of gas held at a constant volume, which pressure divided by temperature is a constant value. The gas has initial pressure and final pressure of Pi and Pf respectively, and initial temperature and final temperature of Ti and Tf respectively. Therefore, the equation below is obtained:
Pi/Ti=Pf/Tf
Where,
Pi = Initial pressure
Pf = Final pressure
Ti = Initial …show more content…
There are three variables in this experiments: Independent variable: Temperature of gas Dependent variable: Pressure of gas Control variable: Volume of gas
The independent variable is the temperature of gas, it is altered by immersing the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperate. According to the theory shown above, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperate. If the temperature of the gas rises, the pressure of the gas increases, and vice versa. Therefore, the pressure of gas is the dependent variable. The volume of gas in the Jolly’s bulb is fixed, hence it is the control variable in this experiment.
