Question

b. Assuming Eelmig the accepted density of water is 1.00 gmL, is this data accurate? .00 Robert Boyle (1627-1691) examined the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas incconstant temperature. A student collected the following data to verify this sample at The origin should be 0,0 e the pnesure of a gas and measuring the volume. Draw a line graph of this data on Graph K Table K Pressure (atm) 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Volume (ml.) 2,400 1.200 600 400 300 240 200 Graph K 6.0 Lab 2 pressure (adm) 34 35

Explanation / Answer

a. According to the graph, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional as volume is decreasing as pressure increases.

b. The slope of the graph comes out to be negative at any point.

c. The line appears to be asymptotic to X-axis because as volume increases to infinity, pressure approaches zero.

The line also appears to be asymptotic to Y- axis for the same reason that volume approaches zero as pressure is increased to infinity.

(P= k/V) where "k" is some constant.

d. When the volume is 800ml, pressure lies between 1 and 2 and may be around 1.5atm.

e. When the pressure is 2.4atm, the volume occupies is just below 600ml and can be asumed as 500ml.

f. For a gas, the volume decreases as pressure increases. The pressure makes the gas molecules come closer and thereby reducing the volume occupied at constant temperature. Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to volume at constant temperature.
