Gas laws

Crush the can was Gay-Lusaac's law. The reason this is Gay-Lusaac's law is because there was a constant volume, but the pressure and temperature did change. During this experiment we put five to ten mL of water into a pop can. We then placed the can on a hot plate and waited for the water to begin to steam once there was steam coming out of the can we grabbed the pop can with a pair of tongs then we quickly turned it upside down into a beaker of ice water then the can was crushed. The reason we did not put the bottom in to the water is because that would have changed the volume. The next experiment was Egg in/out of flask. We put hot water in a flask then we pored out the hot water put the hard boiled egg on top of the flask and the egg was pulled into the flask. We then had to put our mouth on the flask and blow into the flask and the egg was then forced out. This was Boyles law, because there was a constant temperature but there was a pressure and volume change. The next experiment that we did was Marsh mellow in a syringe. The syringe was at five mL we then pulled the plunger back and the marsh mellow expanded then we pushed down the plunger and the marsh mellow shrunk. This is Boyles law because there was no temperature change but there was volume and a pressure change.
