Think about the lab procedure you just read. Label
each factor below with V for variable or C for
constant.
Hypothesis: If the pressure on a gas is
increased, then its volume will decrease
because the gas molecules will be pushed
closer together. (This is in accordance with
Boyle's law):
Temperature of the gas:
Volume of the gas in the syringe:
P= kv-]
Weight put on the syringe:
Number of moles of gas in the syringe:
Mass of gas in the syringe:
The words underlined above are the only
variables for the lab procedure; the other factors
are constant. Therefore, this procedure will help
you test the hypothesis.
DONE
Number of gas molecules in the syringe:
