OBJECT: To study Boyle’s law, at moderate pressures above and below atmospheric, by both analytical and graphical methods.
METHOD: A fixed mass of air confined in a glass tube is kept at room temperature and subjected to various pressures, ranging from half to double atmospheric pressure. A series of corresponding pressures and volumes are observed and Boyle’s law is checked by noting the constancy of their products. The data are plotted in several graphical forms the interpretation of which also indicates the validity of Boyle’s law. Continue reading ‘Boyle’s Law - Experiment 3′
