Boyle’s Law 5-1: Boyle’s Law: Pressure and Volume Robert Boyle‚ a philosopher and theologian‚ studied the properties of gases in the 17th century. He noticed that gases behave similarly to springs; when compressed or expanded‚ they tend to ‘spring’ back to their original volume. He published his findings in 1662 in a monograph entitled The Spring of the Air and Its Effects. You will make observations similar to those of Robert Boyle and learn about the relationship between the pressure and volume

Robert Boyle employed a J-shaped piece of glass tubing that was sealed on one end. A gas (air) was trapped in the sealed end of the tube and varying amounts of mercury were added to the J-shaped tube to vary the pressure of the system. Boyle systematically varied the pressure and measured the volume of the gas. These measurements were performed using a fixed amount of gas and a constant temperature. In this way Boyle was able to examine the pressure-volume relationship without complications from

Born in Cork‚ Ireland‚ in the year 1627‚ Robert Boyle was born into a very rich family. His father‚ Richard Boyle‚ was the Earl of Cork. Part of Boyle’s success was because he lived with one of the richest men of Ireland. Richard Boyle‚ however‚ gained his money through stealing. His mother died before he was 12. Though he did well at his school initially‚ when a new headmaster arrived‚ Boyle did poorly. His father removed him from his school‚ and hired a tutor to teach him

Boyles’ Law Use Boyles’ Law to answer the following questions: 1) 1.00 L of a gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed to 473 mL. What is the new pressure of the gas? 2) In a thermonuclear device‚ the pressure of 0.050 liters of gas within the bomb casing reaches 4.0 x 106 atm. When the bomb casing is destroyed by the explosion‚ the gas is released into the atmosphere where it reaches a pressure of 1.00 atm. What is the volume of the gas after the explosion

An Old Man’s Winter Night This is a very haunting poem about an old man who stands alone dying in a dark house in winter. His memory is failing him and because of that he doesn’t know who he is or why he is in the house but he stays there inside the house because of the gruelling winter weather outside. There is no sense that the old man is existing for anyone or anything‚ he is purely alone. He is alone not only because no one is with him‚ but also because there will be no one to remember him after

Purpose and Method: The purpose of this experiment was to understand Boyle’s Law. In the experiment the pressure in the system under constant temperature and mass was used to confirm if the laws are true. Boyles law relates pressure and volume while all other factors are consistent and states: for a fixed amount of gas kept at constant temp‚ the product of the pressure of the gas and its volume will remain constant if either quantity is changed‚ or where k is constant. The experiment consisted
