6) The tape was used to measure gas accumulation in the balloon after 1minute. Measurement and qualitative observations were recorded.

4) Heat the solid Neon to 20 K. What is this temperature in Celsius? -253°C

Please Note: This lab involves a lot of waiting for the gas collection. Make sure you allot yourself the full three hours to perform the experiments.

2. Read and record the temperature of the gas using the thermometer attached to the container.

Measure 500ml of tap water in the 500cm3 beaker, then measure 5g of sodium hydrogen carbonate using the 50cm3 beaker and weight scale and place in the beaker of water, using the glass rod to dissolve it into the mixture.

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the volume of gas when the pressure is consistent and to verify Charles’ Law. The data from the experiment reveals that as temperature increases, so does volume. This also indicates that as temperature decreases, the volume decreases as well.

Introduction: Accuracy and precision were the major aspects of the lab. Accuracy is how close the average of the measured values are to the actual value. Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements. In the lab, the aim was to get as close as possible with both accuracy and precision when determining the mass and volume of the spheres. The mass was determined by weighing the spheres on the Analytical Scale and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The volume is determined by measuring with a ruler and by water displacement. The standard

The pressure of a gas sample increases for a decrease in volume and decreases for an increase in volume.

In the fourth stage of this experiment, the density of a gas was determined. A 250ml flask was weighed with an empty rubber balloon and the mass was recorded.

Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring

In this experiment, we will collect data from the sample and use the Ideal Gas Law:

This experiment is conducted in order to study a condensed system (solid-liquid) at constant temperature (atmospheric temperature). It should be noted that the atmospheric pressure is unlikely to be the equilibrium pressure for the system. However, equilibria in condensed systems are not very sensitive to pressure.

Thank you Kiyana, this class has shed some light on my ignorance, because I never stop to think how we get the gas and electricity that powers our world I just flip a switch and pay the bill every month or just go to the gas station and put gas in my truck, this is why learning is such a powerful tool it allows us to be an active participant in the world we live in and make conscious decision concerning some of he things we usually take for granted. I just thought that there was an endless supply of oil being manufacture somewhere in the middle east and all we had to do was buy it and have it shipped to us whenever we needed

Overall, the experiment succeeded that the metals show the theoretical properties. Differences existed in the mathematical calculation of the actual length. These differences, however, it can be accounted for by experimental error; more over there are uncertainty on purity of the
