1 You are required to carry out an online simulation to determine the relationship between
volume and pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature.

Carry out the experiment by using the steps below:

(i) Click the following link:

(ii) Fix the temperature at 298 K.
(iii) Adjust the volume to 0.30 l and record the pressure reading.
(iv) Repeat steps (ii) to (iii) for the volumes of 0.40, 0.50, 0.60 and 0.70 l.
(v) Record all the data obtained.

Based on the experiment conducted:

(a) Complete the following table to record:

.
Volume, V / L Pressure, P / kPa 1/V / L-1

0.30

0.40

0.50

0.60

0.70

(b) On the graph paper provided, plot a graph of P against 1/V.

(c) Based on your graph in 1(b), derive the graph equation. From the graph equation, derive
the formula of Boyle’s law.
