Gas Pressure and Volume Relationship
Gas Pressure and Volume Relationships
Exp. E-1A
A. Obtain a pressure-measuring device as indicated by your lab instructor. Obtain a 60 mL syringe, fill it with air, and connect the syringe to the gas-measuring device as indicated in the figure. Test your apparatus for gas leaks. If you can't eliminate all leaks, see your lab instructor.

B. If necessary, calibrate your gas-measuring device as indicated by your lab instructor. Fill your syringe to the largest volume mark on the syringe and reconnect to the gas-measuring device. What is the pressure of the trapped air in the syringe? Explain.
-The pressure of the trapped air in syringe is 0.01 bar or 0.00987 atm. The pressure of trapped gas is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere because it is measured relative to the atmospheric pressure.

C. Depress the plunger of the syringe and describe the system. Is the pressure of the trapped air greater or less than the atmospheric pressure? Explain.
- The pressure of the trapped air is higher than the atmospheric pressure. Since the gas are being compressed inside the syringe, and reducing its volume. This will caused the molecules to hit the container more often since there isn't much space. The frequent collision between the gas molecules and the container causes a rise in pressure.
D. Release the plunger of the syringe. Adjust the plunger to the 60mL mark. Record the pressure reading of the trapped air in the following table.

Atmospheric pressure = 732 torr at 9:00 A.M, November 6, 2012.

II. Data Analysis
A. If necessary, calculate the total pressure of the trapped air for each reading and record it in the following table. Show how you calculate this pressure for your first reading in the space below.
Total Pressure = Pressure

    Again, in the lab manual is says that “at constant pressure, the volume occupied by a given mass of a gas is directionally proportional to its temperature, measured in degrees Kelvin (˚K= 273+˚C): V=k’T.” The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains Charles’ Law by the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is linked to the temperature of the gas. The mass of these particles is constant, so the particles move faster while the gas becomes warmer. If they move faster, the particles will use a bigger force on the container every time they hit the walls in which it will escalate the pressure of the gas. If the walls of the container are flexible, it’ll enlarge until the pressure of the gas balances the pressure of the atmosphere. The volume of the gas gets bigger as the temperature of the gas goes…
