Ideal Gas Law Lab
1. Procedure: First, we used a balance to weigh the canister of gas, and recorded that mass as the original weight.
Then, we filled a large bucket with water and recorded the temperature. We then filled a small test tube with water at the same temperature and poured that water into a graduated cylinder to measure the original volume of water in the tube.
We then poured the water back into the test tube and placed the tube into the bucket with the opening upwards, turning the open end downwards after the tube was fully submerged beneath the surface. We then placed the canister directly below the opening of the test tube, and released the gas so that the bubbles rose into the test tube.
Next, we used a cork whose head was larger than the opening of the test tube to block off the opening (without changing the pressure inside of the tube), so that we could transport the remaining water to a graduated cylinder. When doing this, it was very important that the water......
