12.1 Gases/Exploring Gas Laws Lab
Name: Period' - t 5
lect ) .$nr6x
Obiective: To learn how gases behave and the gas laws through performing various investigations.

Procedure:
At each station follow the instructions. This will include drawing the apparatus before and after including
how the molecules of gas are moving. Then answer the questions for the lab, clean up and move to the next
station. {'{'* Be careful with the equipment!!!!

Exp 1: Soda Can

1. Using a graduated cylinder measure anil then pour 20ml of water into a soda can.
2. Place the can on the hot plate and let it sit until the water is boiling (water vapor is coming out).
3. Quickly move the can from hot plate with tongs and put upside down into cold water (so top of can is
. sealed with water)

3. Try to explain why this happened. Remember, the air is at atmospheric pressure of 1atm... the
pressure inside the can is what changes..

 Exn 3: spitting straw-
1) Place half a drinking straw vertically into a cup that is half frlled with water so that it is almost completely
submerged. Have one partner hold the straw up... so that it doesn't touch the bottom.
2) Hold another half straw perpendicular to the first straw so that it just touching.
3) Blow through the second straw towards the first straw.
***Draw a picture of what happens making qure to show what the molecules are doing with arrows for pressure.

Exp 4: Balloon in a bottle. Put a clean balloon INSIDE a2Lbottle without letting go. Try to blow up the
balloon inside the bottle. Now use the straw by holding the straw next to the bdrlloon (don't put your mouth
on the straw).

holding the jar steady. When done, make sure to release the air at the tube between the hose and jar.
