Volume and Temperature of a Gas

By: Jasmine Camacho

In this experiment I used both the Boyle’s and the Charles gas laws. Boyle's law states “the volume of a given quantity of a gas varies inversely as the pressure, the temperature remaining constant”. The formula used to help complete this process is PV=constant. Charles law help explain the relationship between temperature and gas volume. And the formula for this is V/T=constant. For this experiment I used the ideal gas law; pV=nRT.

In this experiment I began each trial by measuring the temperature of the water, then I found the volume of the gas by using displacement. I used a plastic “ziploc” bag as the gas container. I then used a thermometer and scale to measure the pressure
