Part 1: Boyle's Law Experiment and

The document reports on results from 3 experiments: 1) Boyle's Law experiment where gas was expanded from a pressurized vessel to atmospheric and vacuum vessels. Percentage differences in PV were calculated and showed good agreement with Boyle's Law. 2) Gay-Lussac's Law experiment where temperature changes were recorded during gas compression and expansion at various pressures. Results supported the law that temperature and pressure have a direct relationship. 3) An isentropic expansion process where gas was expanded in multiple stages and temperatures were recorded. This demonstrated isentropic expansion.
