    This document summarizes the results of three experiments: 1) Boyle's law experiment, where the author verified Boyle's law by showing negligible differences between initial and final pressure-volume products under three conditions. 2) Gay-Lussac law experiment, where temperature was shown to increase with pressure by taking temperature measurements at increasing pressure levels. 3) Isentropic expansion experiment, where the author determined the adiabatic index k by measuring temperature and pressure changes during an expansion process and comparing the experimental value to theoretical values, finding an error below 20%.
