Activity: Properties of Gases

Materials:
 3 balloon with the same size and color
 Balloon pump
 Digital balance

Procedure
A. Gases and Masses
1. Measure the mass of the deflated balloon using digital balance with 0.01
precision (sensitive up to two decimal places)

2. Inflate the balloon using a balloon pump and seal the opening by securely
twisting/looping the end.

3. Measure the mass of the inflated balloon using a digital balance.

4. Do three trials and record your data.

Guide Questions:

1. Is the mass of the deflated balloon different from the mass of the inflated balloon?
2. Which is heavier, the inflated or the deflated balloon? Why?
3. What unit of measurement for mass is used in the activity?
4. What can you infer in this activity?
