Activity: Properties of Gases

Materials:
 Thermometer
 Alcohol lamp
 Tripod
 Wire Gauze
 Match
 Denatured Alcohol
 Ice
 500 mL beaker

Procedure
A. Gases and Temperature
1. Pour approximately 150 mL of water in a beaker
2. Measure the initial temperature of the air just above the water level
3. Fill the beaker with crushed ice up to the water level. After 5 minutes, measure the temperature of
the air just above the water level.
4. Assemble the wire gauze, tripod, and alcohol lamp. Set aside the iced water. Replace the content of
the beaker with tap water. Place the beaker with water on the wire gauze.
5. Heat the water until it boils and get the temperature of the air just above the water level.
6. Perform three trials and write your data on Table.
