Investigating Boyle`s and Charles` Gas Laws` Worksheet (SCIENCE 10)

Particles of gases are always in rapid random motion, endlessly bumping against each other and hitting the walls of the container. As they hit the
walls, they exert PRESSURE which is proportional to their velocity and mass. The PRESSURE of a gas in a closed container is the push of the
molecules of a gas against a unit area on the wall of the container. The entire space in which the molecules of a gas move represents the VOLUME
of the gas.
PART I: A-Table 1 shows the VOLUME-PRESSURE inverse relationship that can be explained by BOYLE`s Gas Law.
Multiply the VOLUME and PRESSURE in every trial. Then answer the follow-up questions.
TABLE 1- Effect of PRESSURE on VOLUME of a Gas at 25 oC
TRIAL VOLUME ( L ) PRESSURE ( atm ) PRESSURE x VOLUME (atm•L)
1 6.0 1 1x6=6
2 3.0 2
3 2.0 3
4 1.5 4 4 x 1.5 = 6
5 1.2 5
6 1.0 6
Questions: 1. What happens to the VOLUME of the gas from Trial 1 to 6?________________________________________________
2. What happens to the PRESSURE of the gas from Trial 1 to 6?_______________________________________________
3. What do you observe when you multiply the PRESSURE and VOLUME? _______________________________________
4. Which of these equations is applicable to show the relationship of VOLUME and PRESSURE of a gas? (k means constant)
a. P + V = k b. P/V = k or P ÷ V = k c. P x V = k d.P1 x V2 = k
B. Using the values for PRESSURE and VOLUME in Table 1, plot the data for each trial in the given grid below.

PART II: A-Table 2 shows that the VOLUME of a gas varies directly with TEMPERATURE in Kelvin provided the pressure
remains constant. This is stated in CHARLES` gas law. Complete the blanks in the data.
TABLE 2- Effect of TEMPERATURE on VOLUME of a Gas at 1 atmosphere (atm)
Absolute VOLUME ÷ Absolute
TRIAL VOLUME ( mL ) Temperature ( oC ) TEMPERATURE ( K ) TEMPERATURE
= oC + 273 ( mL / K )
1 8.7 100 100 + 273 = 373 8.7 ÷ 373 = 0.023
2 8.4 90
3 8.1 80
4 7.9 70 70 + 273 = 343 7.9 ÷ 343 = 0.023
5 7.7 60
6 7.4 50
7 7.2 40 40 + 273 = 313 7.2 ÷ 313 = 0.023
Questions: 1. What happens to the VOLUME and TEMPERATURE of the gas from Trial 1 to 7? ________________________________
2. What do you observe when you divide the VOLUME by the Absolute TEMPERATURE? ___________________________
4. Which of these equations is applicable to show the relationship of VOLUME and TEMPERATURE of a gas? (k means constant)
a. V + T = k b. V/T = k or V ÷ T = k c. V x T = k d. V1 x T3 = k
B. Using the values for VOLUME and TEMPERATURE in Kelvin from Table 2, make a line graph using each trial in the given grid below.
