Instead, you will design and perform an experiment using the "Gas Laws" simulation to demonstrate the Combined Gas Law shown below. The Combined Gas Law says that when the number of molecules of an ideal gas is held constant, the product of the pressure and volume of the gas divided by the temperature of the gas (in Kelvin) will remain constant.
Hit the "Reset" button on the "Gas Laws" simulation, and get to work designing and performing your experiment. Hints:
If you have trouble, make sure you get in touch with me immediately. You can expect questions about this on the lab quiz!
- Only the number of molecules is kept constant. Try using 100 heavy molecules. Once you have set the number of molecules, do not change it.
- Nothing else is held constant, and so under "Constant Parameter," you should select "None."
- Use the data table I have designed for this experiment because it has some hints built in. Click HERE to open the data table.
