In other words, as the volumechanges, the pressure changes. For a given amount of a gas at afixed temperature the pressure of the gas is inversely proportionalto the volume. One way to verify this is to graph the inverse of gasvolume versus gas pressure.SAFETY REMINDERS• Wear protective gear.• Follow directions for using the equipment.For You To DoUse the Pressure Sensor to measure the change in pressure of the air in a syringe as you changethe volume of the air in the syringe. Use DataStudio or ScienceWorkshop to record and analyzethe data. Determine the relationship of pressure to volume for the air in the syringePART I: Computer Setup1. Connect the ScienceWorkshop interface to the computer,turn on the interface, and turn on the computer.2. Connect the Pressure Sensor’s DIN plug into AnalogChannel A on the interface.3.
