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 />
