Before You Begin: ‘* Additional Materials needed per student: 1 sandwich size ziploc bag, 1 straw. ‘© Aller reading the Web page Boyle's Law and using the Animated Gas Lab, complete the activity to answer questions using Boyle's Law. Glenn Boyle’s Law Research Temperature Temperature ' Pressure For a given mass, at constant temperature, the pressure times the volume is a constant. pV=C © Answer th ns shown below. Glick on Animated Gas Lab, (On the lef, under "Freeze One Variable," click on "Mass." © Aer viewing "Mass is frozen,” click on "Temperature ‘Effect of changing volume on pressure." Next, click on the green ares 1. Which variable is plotted on the graph's vertical axis? wn gre.nasa.govWWWWIK-12BGP!Sher_Z/bovestaw_act.hm 18ans Beginner's Gude to Propsion: Boy's Law= Acti 2. Which variable is plotted on the graph's horizontal axis? 3. Locate the temperature gauge. You may need to scroll down. What isthe Kelvin temperature? 4. Which ofthe following conditions is that temperature closer to? room temperature? human body temperature? freezer temperature? 5. The red plunger is used to exert pressure on the gas molecules in which colored area? 7. What do you predict the volume will be when the pressure changes to 4.007 8, Sketch the completed pressure-volume graph 9. Click on "Effect of changing pressure on volume.” Describe what is added to the piston to increase the pressure. 10. Sketch the completed volume-pressure graph. 11, Waite the formula equation for Boyle's Law. 12. Write the equation for Boyle's Law in words. 13. In the Animated Gas Lab, what are the units of pressure? (Click on Boyle's Law if you need help.) 14, What are the units of volume used in tis lab? 15. Predict what the volume in this lab would be ifthe pressure wore 8.00 16, Predict what the volume in this lab would be ifthe pressure were 0.500. 17. State Boyle's aw in your own words. 18. Zip a sandwich bag nearly closed. Insert a straw into the opening and blow through the straw to inflate the bag so that itis a litle over half ull of air. Completely seal the bag. Now slowly roll the zipper part of the bag toward the bottom of the bag, decreasing the volume of the bag. Describe what happens to the pressure ofthe air in the bag as you decrease its volume. 19. How does your experience with the plastic bag compare to the animated gas lab? 20. fin ether situation, instead of having a closed container you had a small opening in the bottom of t, what would eventually happen to the gas? 21. Referring to the previous question, what would happen to the volume of the gas in the container? 22. Refertng to the previous question, what would happen to the pressure of the gas? wn gre.nasa.govWWWWIK-12BGP!Sher_Z/bovestaw_act.hm 2ans Beginner's Gude to Propusion Boy's Law.
