Boyle's Law Verification

Demonstrating the inverse relationship between pressure and volume

Verify Boyle's law (P1V1 = P2V2) by measuring the volume of a trapped gas at different pressures.

Demonstrating gas compressibility and Boyle's law

Build a Cartesian diver to demonstrate gas compressibility and the relationship between pressure and buoyancy.

Measuring volume changes of a gas with temperature

Demonstrate Charles's law by measuring the circumference of an air-filled balloon at different temperatures.

Detecting carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide

Generate carbon dioxide gas from a carbonate-acid reaction and confirm its identity using the limewater test.

Comparing diffusion rates of HCl and NH₃ gases

Verify Graham's law of diffusion by comparing the rates at which HCl and NH₃ gases travel through a glass tube.

Calculating molar volume by reacting Mg with HCl

Determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas at room conditions by reacting a known mass of magnesium ribbon with excess …

Generating and collecting hydrogen from zinc and acid

Generate hydrogen gas from the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid and collect it by water displacement.
