Boyle’s Law– Lab Report
Section: ______P_______ Name: _____Joan Garza_______ GOAL: (briefly state what experiment(s) will be performed and with what purpose) The experiment will be how gas pressure and volume will react to each other when temperature is constant. This will be a done to observe Boyle

s Law and how it relates to gas pressure and the volume in a container. Analysis: Volume (L) Pressure(atm) 1000 .8 900 .89 800 1 700 1.14 600 1.33 500 1.6 400 2 300 2.67 200 4 150 5.33 1.
Looking at the Pressure vs. Volume graph from your Excel file, how the pressure is related to the volume? Pressure and volume seem to be inversely proportional to each other since the lower the volume got the pressure increased exponentially. 2.
What is the slope of pressure vs. 1/volume? The slope seems to be about 8 for pressure vs. 1/volume 3.
Use the value of the slope to determine the number of moles (n) of air in the syringe. (slope=nRT) Using the slope of 8 and the Ideal Gas Law we can conclude that there are .3 moles of air in the syringe.
