Gas Laws and Gas Labs

Gas Laws
Boyle's Law:
If temperature is constant, doubling the pressure of a fixed amount of gas decreases its volume by one half.
Charles's Law:
The volume of a given mass is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature at a constant pressure.
Gay-Lussac's Law:
The pressure if a given mass of gas varies directly with the kelvin temperature when the volume remains constant.
Boyle's law applies to the lab in which a marshmallow was placed in an airtight syringe and pressure was exerted to lower the volume.
Charles's law applies to the lab in which a balloon was placed in front of a heater, and inflated slightly and rose.
Gay-Lussac's law applies to the lab in which the balloon was pushed into the flask by lower pressure inside the flask due to lower temperature.

  1. Explain all of the labs in greater detail and how they use each law. But keep up the good work BIG MIKE!

  2. Use more detail when describing what we did in class, but otherwise it was really good.

  3. You did good on the laws, but you should go into more depth.
