Gas Laws

Blue liquid with Chemistry books- This was an example of Boyles' Law. The liquid stayed at a constant temperature. As books were added to the tube of liquid it added pressure. When the pressure went up so did the volume. As the books were taken off the pressure was released and the volume went down.

Charles Law- the object is under constant pressure. The temperature and volume are directly related, which means when one goes up so does the other. The temperature and pressure lab is a good example for this law. The bottle was always under pressure, but the temp and volume would change.



Egg Station- This was an example of Gay-lusaac Law. The volume of the egg stayed constant. Warm water was swirrled around to produce gas. After the warm water was removed the egg was placed on the mouth of the flask. Then the flask was placed in cold water which dropped the egg to the bottom of the flask. The temperatures changed and the pressure changed aswell. But the volume of the egg stayed the same.

  1. Explain the lab further that is an example of Charles's Law. I also think you could explain the lab better that dealt with Boyle's Law. Great job buddy!(:

  2. You did a really nice job of showing what the laws were and explaining them.

    You may wanna go more into detail when you explain with the egg into the flask. what happened what caused the egg to fall
