Charles' Law Materials: Large beaker #6 I-hole stopper Shermeme ring stand 250 mL flask © ring clamp wire gauze thermometer bucket 100 mL graduated cylinder Procedure 1, Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram. Fill a large beaker 1/2 full of water. Put the stopper in the mouth of the flask. Place the flask in the beaker and clamp it in place. The water level should be similar to the diagram. 2. Heat the water to boiling and then continue heating for 3 minutes. Keep your hands away fiom the beaker! Read the temperature of the water. Assume that the temp, of the air in the beaker is the same and recard this temperature as Ty . 3. Obtain a bucket and fill it 3/4 full of water. 4. Use the clamp as a handle. Protect your hand with 3 paper towel and place your finger over the hole in che stopper. Remove the flask from the beaker and submerge it, mouth down, in the bucket of water. Do not allow air to enter the flask. while transferring. 5. Remove your finger from the stopper. Be careful _ to keep the flask mouth down. and hold the flask under — Water levef outsige = © the water for several minutes to cool it. Water Water level insice should enter the flask as the volune of the air decreases. 6. Raise the flask until the vater level inside is equal to the water level in the bucket. The pressure in the flask is now equal to the atmospheric pressure, Place your finger over the stopper again and remove the flask from the bucket. i 7. Remove the stopper and measure the temperature’ “T° Water enters as flask cog of the water. Assume that the temperature of the air nthe flask was the same and record this as T2 . 8. Measure the volume of the wéter in the flask with a graduated cylinder. 9,. Pill the flask completely with water and insert the stopper. Remove the stopper and measure the volume of the water with a graduated cylinder. Record this as the volume of the flask. This vas also the initial voluve (Vj) of the air in the flask.
