3. Give one pump of gas and observe the behavior. How would you describe this?
Repeat this a few times, either increasing or decreasing the number of the same type of particles.

5. Is there a relationship between the number of particles and the pressure? Briefly describe this.
What is the pressure in the container due to? (what assumption are we making?)
the more particles in the container the more the pressure goes up.
Experiment 1- Volume
1. Give one pump of gas into the chamber.
2. Choose to hold the volume constant by selecting that option in the
upper right-hand corner. See the picture.
What is the initial temperature (in K) and pressure (in atm) in the chamber?
5.8atm
3. Use the slider at the bottom of the simulator to add heat and double the temperature.
Did the pressure go up or go down? What is the new pressure in the chamber?
4. Keeping the volume constant (and the number of particles constant), change the temperature and
record the pressure. Repeat 4 times and record your data. Sketch a graph to the right of the
table. Be sure to give a title to your graph and label the axis completely.
Independent variable is : pressure
Dependent Variable: temperture

4. Locate the handle on the left of the chamber and slide it to the right as far as it will go.
What units are used to measure the width of the chamber? nm^3
Does the volume go up or go down when you slide it to the right? down , Did the pressure go up or
go down? up ; Why? there is less space for the particles so the pressure will increase due to more
tension that builds up in a smaller container.
5. Slide the handle all the way to the left as far as it will go.
Did the pressure go up or go down? down ; Why?
becuase the volume increased creating more space for the pressure to relase.
6. Keeping the temperature constant (and the number of particles constant), change the volume and
record the pressure. Repeat 4 times and record your data. Sketch a graph to the right of the
table. Be sure to give a title to your graph and label the axis completely

the temperture increases and creates more movement in the particles that increases the pressure,
pressure cooker when you expand the pot gas is realesed that redices the pressure insdie a pressure cooker
the size of the container gave the particles less space to move increasing the pressure inside the container,
when you squeez a ball it gets harder and harder to squeeze the more you push it.
up
Experiment 3: When temperature went , the volume went up .
Possible reason?
it gave room for the particles to move without building up the pressure
popcorn when you pop popcorn the temp rises and buiilds up the pressure however the bigger the pot the longer it takes
for the pressure to increase due to the volume of the container.
