Conclusion:
Answer the following questions after completing the lab.
1) Describe the relationship that you observed between pressure and volume in this lab. Refer to your data and/or graph to help support your answer. [5 points]
By the information displayed in the graph, it shows that when the pressure decreases the volume increases. But the volume only increases very little even though the pressure has dropped significantly.
2) Do you think there is a point at which volume cannot be decreased any further for this sealed container of gas? Explain your answer in terms of what you know about the properties and characteristics of gases. [5 points]
I think that the higher the pressure gets, the less volume there is.
