Discussion Based on the results, the graph of pressure vs. heat-up time was plotted.

From the graph plotted, for the pressure,hpa against the heat-up time,s it shows a continuous upward curves for the first four reading. Then on fifth reading there were slightly change on the the reading and the pattern is then continuous upward curves for the remaining reading. As compare to the sample graph from the manual lab, it shows only slightly difference between the results and the graph. For the determination of the Cv, the increase in temperature increase cause the pressure to increase. This is relevant as the formula of PV=nRT. As gas law, the increase in temperature will also cause the increase in temperature. Thus, the pressure measurement also alters the volume. Based on the experiment, there were few errors that might come. As for our experiment, the obvious error came from the instrument. This instrumental error is due to the apparatus itself where there were huge gap between the results for each trial. For instance, the instrument then was adjusted by changing the wire that turn out to be one of the reasons of the alteration on the change of results. Then the error also came when the chemical wasnt allow to settle first before taking the reading. Its shows a slightly difference in data when the chemical does not allow to be settle first. Throughout the experiment, the person who handling the instrument were the same person so that there will be the same judgement for each time of the reading.
