SCH3U - Exploration of Gases (LAB)

NAME: DATE: PERIOD:

Background:
In a gas, particles are spread far apart; therefore a gas takes up more
volume than a solid or a liquid. For example, water in the form of steam
takes up about 2000 times the volume that the same amount of water
does in liquid form.
There are many formulas to describe the behavior of a gas under certain
conditions. Boyle’s Law, PV=k, states that the pressure is inversely
proportional to the volume. Charles’s Law, V/T =k, states that volume is
directly proportional to the temperature. Gay-Lussac’s Law, P/T =k,
states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
Relationships that are directly proportional produce a straight line graph,
while inversely proportional relationships produce a curve. Applying
these laws to compare gases under two different sets of conditions gives
the formulas: P1V1=P2V2, V1/T1=V2/T2 , P1/T1 =P2/T2.
These three laws together give the Combined Gas Law: P1V1/T1 =P2V2/T2.

Procedure & Observations:


Part 1
Pour 7-10 mls. of water into an Erlenmeyer flask (1000 mL. flask) . Place on
hot plate, let water boil away. Immediately after the water has boiled off,
remove from heat (remember to use thermal gloves!) and place a well-
greased, hard-boiled egg (balloon) on the mouth of the flask. Observe.

1. What happens to the egg? Why?


2. Propose a way to get the egg out of the flask without cutting it.

Observation:

Part 2
1) Obtain a small balloon filled with air. Submerge the balloon in a large
beaker of ice water and hold for 3 minutes. Use beaker tongs to keep
the balloon submerged. Observe.
2) Transfer balloon to large beaker of hot water and submerge for 3
minutes. Observe.

Observation:
As the water temperature increased, the volume of the balloon
. This is an example of
Law.
Part 3
1) Obtain a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask and place 15-20 milliliters of water
inside.
2) Place the flask onto a heating setup (hotplate or wire gauze/ring
stand) and heat until a steady stream of steam comes out. DO NOT let
the water boil away.
3) Take the flask off of the gauze using flask tongs.
4) While holding onto the neck of the flask using flask tongs, have a lab
partner stretch the mouth of a large balloon over the mouth of the
flask. Make sure the balloon is centered on the opening of the flask.
This creates a closed system.
5) Wait 2-3 minutes and observe. Then place the flask into a beaker of
ice water. Observation:

Placing the balloon over the mouth of the flask created a system. As
the in the flask dropped the steam turned to water. Since
water in the liquid state takes up less than water in the gas state, a
partial vacuum was created. The greater outside of the flask
pushed the balloon inside.

Part 4
1) Obtain a 1000 mL beaker / candle set-up.
2) Fill the beaker with water until the water level is halfway up the
candle. Light the candle.
3) Carefully invert a 1000 mL Erlenmeyer flask over the candle.
Observe both candle and the water level.

Propose an explanation:

Conclusion:
1) Give the name of the law that relates pressure to volume.
2) Give the name of the law that relates volume to temperature.
3) The condensing of steam in a closed system creates a partial .
4) If the volume of a gas is cut by 1/2, the pressure will
(increase/decrease) by a factor of (2, 1/2) times.
5) If the temperature of a gas is doubled, the volume of the gas will
(increase/decrease) by a factor of (2, 1/2) times.
6) If the temperature of a gas is tripled, the pressure of the gas will
(increase/decrease) by a factor of (3, 1/3) times.
7) Graphing pressure vs. volume would produce a .
8) Graphing volume vs. temperature would produce a line.
