In this experiment, we successfully verified Boyle's law and the equation of state for an ideal gas. When plotting L vs. 1/P, figure 1, we could calculate the number of moles of gas in our system which resulted in .10757 mol. In addition to the number of moles, we are also able to calculate the volume of the gas which included gas contained within the bottle and hose and that resulted in .002374 ± 0.21 m3.

When dealing with ideal gases, we assume that the gas has no interaction with other gases. In this experiment, it was a safe to make such assumption since our gas was atmospheric gas and it was maintained at a constant temperature of 295.5 K. However, one aspect that was noticed that affected the accuracy of our results was keeping the
