Gas Pressure And Temperature Essay

Gases are unique in that they are do not have definitive shape nor volume as there properties depend on the relationship between: volume, temperature, and pressure. The relationship between these three things is crucial, as manipulating one will change another. The relationship between pressure and volume was the first of these to be official published. Robert Boyle discovered in 1662 that at a fixed temperature the pressure an ideal gas show an inverse relationship. Boyle’s law was also later reaffirmed by Mariotte in 1679. Charles Law discovered in 1787 showed that the relationship between volume and temperature was directly proportional. Charles law was not directly used for the data analysis in this experiment. Avogadro’s law showed that …show more content…
The lab quest once again had to be prepared by plugging a gas pressure sensor into channel one and a temperature probe into channel two. The settings were then modified so that the units box was left blank and the name was kept as “Event”. The rubber stopper for the gas pressure sensor was then assembled by ensuring that the plastic adapters and tubing was secure. The plastic tubing was then connected with the gas pressure sensor and secured and the two was valve of the stopper was placed in the open position. The assembled senor and tubing was then inserted onto a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask and the valve was closed. Once the water was boiling the flask was submerged into the water using a metal clamp and the temperature probe was placed in the water as well. The data collection was started on the lab quest. An initial temperature was taken once the pressure and temperature stabilized. Once the initial stable temperature of 100 Celsius was reached the hot plate was turned off and data was collect at every 5 degree interval while using ice to cool the water down to 0 Celsius. Once the lowest reading of 0 Celsius was recorded the data collection was stopped and all lab quest data was saved onto an usb drive. The gas pressure sensor and plastic tubing were disassembled and all excess water was wiped up and all glassware was cleaned and placed in its …show more content…
This was done by manipulating both volume and temperature to collec5 pressure data which was then analyzed using Boyles and Guy-Lussac’s Law which once again allowed for a mathematical calculation of how the relationships functioned and also allowed for the predications of pressures at given volumes and temperatures based off of k
