Ideal Gas Law Experiment:

 Materials
o Balloon
o 50-milliliter (mL) syringe
 Activity Instructions
o Add a tiny bit of air to the balloon (not too much, it will need to fit in the
syringe) and tie the balloon.
o Place the balloon into the syringe.
o Add the plunger to the syringe and then push the piston towards the
balloon.
o Students should write down their observations. (The balloon does not
change size because the atmospheric pressure remains the same.)
o Now, place a finger over the opening of the syringe and push the piston
towards the balloon.
o Have students write their observations. (When the air is prevented from
escaping, the pressure increases as the plunger is pushed down. This
results in a reduction in the balloon's volume.)
Observation/Conclusion:

The video is about “Boyle's Law of Ideal Gases”. According to the video given,
Boyle's Law states that the pressure and volume of an ideal gas are inversely
proportional so long as it is temperature and mass remain constant. As you unravel the
video further, it shows a step by step procedure to explain an example to help
understand the topic given. They took a balloon and blowed it, they made it the right
size because they need to make it fit in the syringe. The next step that they did is put
the balloon into the bottom of the syringe and put the top of the syringe back. They soon
did is to put a finger in the end of the syringe while pushing the plunger of the syringe
without touching the balloon while the balloon slowly shrinks into size as the plunger
furthers down. And once again they did the same procedures but now, they pull the
syringe upwards and the balloon slowly increases in size. This example that they had
given explains that as the pressure increases, the volume decreases and vice versa.
They also stated that an ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of randomly moving,
non-interacting particles. The ideal gases obey the laws of ideal gases, such as Boyle’s
Law, Charles Law and Gay-Lussac’s Law. They also stated some examples of ideal
gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. They are some of the ideal gas,
which means that they follow the law of ideal gases. They explained in the experiment is
that when you put your finger into the bottom of the syringe, it keeps the mass of the air
molecules constant, which allows you to manipulate the pressure and volume inside of
the in between of the syringe. That is why when you push the plunger further down, the
balloon decreases and the same as when you pull the syringe back up.
