Gas Laws and the Labs

Gay-Lusaac's Law- Is keeping a constant vloume. The lab that we did that I think relates to this law is the egg lab. The reason being is because the egg always keeps the same volume no matter what, but when changing temperature such has heating it the pressure in the flask changes and pushes the egg upwards because the pressure is trying to escape the flask.

Boyle's Law- The lab that relates to this law would be the marshmallow in the syringe. It relates because when the pressure in the syringe increased the volume decreased.

Charles's Law- Relates to the balloon and heater lab. The reason is because when you hold the balloon to the heater it got a constant pressure that was less dense than the air which made it float upwards, but once it cooled off it became more dense causing it to sink.

  2. You did a good job on the laws.

    On Boyle's Law you might want to describe it more in depth.
