Objectives:
To compere actual test results with theory and confirm Boyle's law.
3. List of Apparatus:
1. Boyle's Law apparatus. 2. Hand pump.
16. Use your results to calculate the volume of the trapped air for each pressure, then calculate the inverse of the volume (1/volume) to complete your results tables. Refer to the theory section to find the volume calculation if necessary. 17.Calculate P*V (to get the constant K) and complete this column of your table. b. Decreasing pressure: 1. Create a results table, note your local pressure and add it to the gauge pressure to get absolute pressure. 2. From the first line of your results from procedure 1, use the value of K at atmospheric pressure (0 bar gauge) with equation 10 from the theory section to calculate the theoretical volume for each of the absolute pressure in table 2. 3. Repeat as in procedure 1, but use the vacuum pump and reduce the pressure in 0.1 steps.
