Week 4 iLab Report
Maria Reyes iLab, Week #4
CHARLES’ LAW
Introduction
The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the volume of gas when the pressure is consistent and to verify Charles’ Law. The data from the experiment reveals that as temperature increases, so does volume. This also indicates that as temperature decreases, the volume decreases as well.
Procedure
1) Select a 60 mL Syringe Sealed from the Gas Syringe item under the Equipment menu. Set the volume to 20 mL in the Initial Gas Syringe Volume dialogue box.
2) Click on the syringe and select Thermometer from under the Equipment menu.
3) Trial A: Record both volume and temperature for the syringe.
4) Trial B: Obtain a 250 mL beaker from under the Equipment menu. Select the beaker and add 200 mL of Ice Water (-20C) using the Water item from under Chemicals menu. Click on the beaker and add a Thermometer to it.
5) Place the syringe in the beaker by selecting both pieces of equipment and then selecting Combine from under the Arrange menu.
6) Wait up to around 3 minutes to allow the syringe temperature to equalize with the beaker temperature. Record both volume and temperature for the syringe.
(To read the volume, look very closely at the bottom of the syringe’s orange plunger.)
7) Trial C: Remove the syringe by selecting the Combined equipment and then selecting Remove from under the Arrange menu. Empty the beaker by clicking on it and then selecting Empty from the right-mouse button context menu. Add a Thermometer to the beaker. Add 100 mL of Ice Water and then add another 100 mL of Room Temperature water by selecting Volume level 200.0 mL in the Distilled Water dialog box. Repeat Steps 5 & 6.
8) Trial D: Remove the syringe and empty the beaker. Add a Thermometer to the beaker. Add 100 mL of Room Temperature water. Click on the beaker and then select a Bunsen Burner from the Equipment menu. Heat the beaker until the water temperature reaches 100° C. Then add another 100 mL of Room
