Vérification de la Loi de Boyle

Démonstration de la relation inverse entre pression et volume

Gas Laws Intermediate (High School) 40 min ~$15,00

Objectif

Vérifier la loi de Boyle (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂) en mesurant le volume d'un gaz emprisonné à différentes pressions.

Contexte

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. This experiment uses a closed syringe or J-tube manometer to measure gas volume at different pressures and confirm the relationship.

Avertissements de sécurité

  • Do not apply excessive pressure to glass apparatus
  • Ensure all connections are airtight

EPI requis

goggles

Matériaux

  • Boyle's law apparatus or large syringe (1)
    60 mL syringe works
  • Pressure gauge (1)
    Or manometer
  • Rubber tubing (30 cm)
  • Graph paper (2 sheets)

Équipement

Retort stand and clamp Weights or books for applying pressure Ruler

Procédure

1

Set up the Boyle's law apparatus with a known volume of trapped air. Record the initial pressure and volume.

5 min
2

Increase the pressure by adding mercury or pushing the syringe. Record the new pressure and volume.

5 min Do not force the syringe
3

Take at least 8 readings at different pressures, both increasing and decreasing.

15 min
4

Calculate PV for each reading. They should all be approximately equal.

5 min
5

Plot P vs V (hyperbola) and P vs 1/V (straight line through origin) graphs.

8 min

Résultats attendus

The product PV should remain approximately constant (within 5% experimental error). The P vs 1/V graph should be a straight line through the origin, confirming the inverse proportionality.

Nettoyage

Return apparatus to storage. Dispose of graph paper drafts.
