Pre Lab
This week's lab will explore properties of gasses, specifically those described by the Ideal Gas Law, pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T).
The relationship between these properties for ideal gasses (and gasses that behave like ideal gasses) is described by the Ideal Gas Law:
PV = nRT Where P is the pressure, V the volume, n the number of moles of gas, R is a constant, and T is the temperature. This equation combines the work of several scientists as described in the video to the right. In the lab this week we will apply this principle to scenarios where 1) temperature is held constant, 2) volume is held constant, and 3) pressure is held constant.
