Report
Charles’ law is verified as per relation of temperature and volume i.e., for every 1 °C increase in temperature the volume increases by 1/273 ml but with a %error of 2.7%. For this experiment, we expected to see a decrease in the volume of the gas as the temperature of the gas decreases. After experimenting, we saw a similar behaviour. As the temperature of the Erlenmeyer flask decreased from 373.15 k to 289.15 k, the volume of the hot gas inside the flask reduced from 152ml to 121ml, which allowed the water to enter the flask. This indicates that the relation between temperature (K) and volume (ml) is directly proportional to each other as long as the pressure is constant, and this is exactly what Charles' law describes. Apart from this, we noticed a 2.7% error from ideal values. The value of V1/T1 should have been equal to the value of V2/T2. However, the above expression (V1/T1=V2/T2) is based on ideal gasses but in reality, ideal gasses do not exist as all the gasses occupy space and attract or repel their molecules. Also, the pressure must be constant during the procedure but in our case, there was no certainty of constant pressure. So, this explains the %error that we had in our experiment. 1 Connect the pressure sensor (which is connected to the lab quest to collect data) to the syringe which is being held upright. Ensure temperature remains relatively constant 2 Record the pressure at 20 ml, and continue to decrease the volume by 2 mL, record the pressure at each corresponding value increment. Repeat this step 2 more times. After having recorded the data, plot the values of pressure against volume on a line graph. The graph should show that when volume decreases, pressure increases, vice versa.) References: Venkateswaran, R.

Experiment 1. Verification of Gas Laws Procedure Materials: Pressure Sensor, Syringe, Independent Variable (X-axis): Volume (mL.) Lab Quest Dependent Variable (Y-axis): Pressure(kPa) 1. Connect the pressure sensor (which is connected to the lab quest to collect data) to the syringe which is being held upright. Ensure temperature remains relatively constant. 2. Record the pressure at 20 ml [0.05ml (1/ml)], and continue to decrease the volume by 2 mL [0.5ml (1/ml)], record the pressure at each corresponding value increment. Repeat this step 2 more times. 3 After having recorded the data, plot the values of pressure against volume on a line graph. (The graph should show that when volume decreases, pressure increases, vice versa.) Limitations of Experimental Design: Syringe is only precise to 1 ml, Temperature in room may change.
