Laboratory Exercise<br />
BOYLE’S LAW<br />
The ideal gas law states the relationship between the temperature, pressure,<br />
and volume of a confined ideal gas. At room temperature and atmospheric<br />
pressure, air behaves nearly like an ideal gas. In this lab, you will hold the<br />
temperature constant and explore the relationship between the volume and<br />
pressure of a fixed amount of air at a constant temperature. Because the air<br />
will be contained in an airtight syringe, the quantity of gas will be constant<br />
throughout the experiment.<br />
You will perform this experiment using either a CBL <strong>with</strong> pressure sensor<br />
or the Boyle’s law apparatus.<br />
• CBL and sensors You will use the pressure sensor to measure the pressure<br />
of the air at different volumes, starting <strong>with</strong> an initial volume of 10 cm 3<br />
and decreasing by 1 cm 3 increments. You will graph your data and analyze<br />
the graphs to find the relationship between pressure and volume for a gas.<br />
• Boyle’s law apparatus You will increase the pressure on a fixed quantity<br />
of air in a syringe by adding weight to the end of the plunger. As the<br />
pressure is increased, you will measure the change in volume using the<br />
markings on the syringe. You will graph your data and analyze the<br />
graphs to find the relationship between pressure and volume for a gas.<br />
SAFETY<br />
• Tie back long hair, secure loose clothing, and remove loose jewelry to<br />
prevent their getting caught in moving or rotating parts.<br />
• Wear eye protection. Contents under pressure may become projectiles<br />
and cause serious injury.<br />
PREPARATION<br />
1. Determine whether you will be using the CBL and sensors procedure or<br />
the Boyle’s law apparatus. Read the entire lab for the appropriate procedure,<br />
and plan what steps you will take.<br />
