This simulation wont work on my laptop so i cant collect my own data? Can anyone open it to help me with the data?
PHY 202/PHY 241 Name: ________________________________
The gas laws Partner: _______________________________
Purpose: Investigate the Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law, and Gay-Lussac’s Law relating pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas, which together led to the ideal gas law.
Procedure
Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/gas-properties where you should find the “Gas Properties” simulation. You should be able to click on the arrow in the middle of the display to run it, or, if you want, you can download it onto your computer. This simulation requires Java to be installed on your computer.
Part I: Boyle’s Law – Pressure vs. Volume
“Gas in pump” should be set for heavy particles.
“Constant Parameter” should have “Temperature” set.
Under “Tools and Options”, click “Measurement Tools” and then on “Ruler”. A ruler should appear in the display.
Pump approximately 1 atm of pressure into the container. Note the temperature.
Drag the handle on the side of the box as far left as you can. Wait for the temperature to return to its original value. Record the pressure.
Drag the ruler down to the bottom of the container and record its length. Units on the ruler are nanometers (nm).
Drag the handle to the right 1 nm and record the new pressure and length.
Repeat step 7 until you have enough data to fill the table (or reach the limit that the simulation will allow).
Part II: Charles’ Law – Volume vs. Temperature
Reset the simulation.
“Gas in pump” should be set for heavy particles.
“Constant Parameter” should have “Pressure” set.
Under “Tools and Options”, click “Measurement Tools” and then on “Ruler”. A ruler should appear in the display.
Introduce 100 heavy particles into the chamber by typing 100 in the box next to “Heavy Particles”. The volume should increase. Note the pressure.
Drag the ruler down to the bottom of the container and record its length. Units on the ruler are nanometers (nm). Also, record the temperature.
Using the “Heat Control” below the box, remove heat until the temperature gets down around 150 K.
Drag the handle to the right until the pressure is back to its original value. This will require you to continue to move the handle as the volume will attempt to expand if left on its own. Record the length and temperature.
Add heat to the system and repeat step 8 over a temperature range up to around 450 K in order to fill the table.
Part III: Gay-Lussac’s Law – Pressure versus Temperature
Reset the simulation.
“Gas in pump” should be set for heavy particles.
“Constant Parameter” should have “Volume” set.
Introduce 200 heavy particles into the chamber by typing 200 in the box next to “Heavy Particles”. Record the pressure and temperature.
Use the “Heat Control” to lower the temperature to two separate values. At each new temperature, record the temperature and pressure. You will want to stay above 150 K.
Use the “Heat Control” to add heat raise the temperature above the starting point. Record the temperature and pressure.
Continue adding heat, and recording temperature and pressure, to complete the table. You probably don’t want to go over 600 K.
