LEARNING OBJECTIVES To successfully complete this lab you should be able to • Observe Brownian motion of small particles and estimate the diffusion distance and the diffusion coefficient for the suspended particles • Calculate the diffusion coefficient from histograms of diffusion distances measured at various times Lab 4 p.1

Adjust the image resolution to the highest level. Setting the Calibration To _get some familiarity with using the microscope, your first task is to calibrate the camera's field of view. All of the bead videos will be taken at 40X ~a
_gnific~tion and so we will need to know the true length scale for the vts1ble width of our video window at that magnification in order to set the pixel-to-length conversion in Tracker. 0 10iv.

Now, take a "Snapshot" of this focused image for your record-keeping. Each tiniest division equals 10 microns. What then is tlie size of the field of view of the camera ( either horizontal or vertical) image at 40X magnification? Enter this distance here: Length of Image = __ --'-\ S=..,,
Q
,.._ ____ microns Carefully remove the calibration slide and return it to its plastic case. SA VE the image you took to a perm~ent file location with a meaningful file name. Lights, Camera, Action! An Excel workbook has been developed specifically for this lab to help streamline the data collection. You can download this workbook from Blueline. This workbook was designed to accept just 7 frames of tracked video (no less!) and any deviation in the formatting will foul up the entire collation process. On the bright side, the Excel workbooks will automatically carry out most all of the calculations! Now work to gather your video. Instructions: WARNING: READ THIS CAREFULLY! l. As you prepare each slide, remember to gently shake the vial of solution before you extract a sample with the pipette. Large diameter spheres will gradually settle and so your video should be collected fairly quickly after the sample is deposited on the slide. If it takes too much time ( e.g., much more than 15 minutes), you may want to prepare another sample. 2. Place a single drop of solution into the depression on the slide and overlay a cover slip. Gently blot up any excess solution and be sure to avoid bubbles as these will create convection current that adversely alter the bead motion. Do NOT touch the table of your lab station while recording data. lfyou fail to follow In
struction 1 and Instruction 2, you may get "drift" effects instead of "diffusion" and will need to repeat the whole experiment! Lab 4 p.3
3. Use the 40X objective for these bead videos. 4. Use the phase-conjugated filter (slider just below lamp housing) and try adjusting the camera contrast (under Color Adjustment tab in the software) to obtain the sharpest image of the beads. 5. In AmScope, under "Camera and Resolution" on the left toolbar. Set the resolution to the highest possible value. Press "Record," Name your file and save to the desktop, and set the time limit to 1 minute. 6. When completed, run the Tracker program (see explanation on Tracker on the next page). Drag the movie of the beads on the desktop to the Tracker window. Wait for the video to load. 7. In Tracker, go to the "Clip Settings" button on the top toolbar (looks like a film strip). 8.

Run your video and zoom in on a bead that appears to be moving freely (Some beads will stick to the glass and not move at all). You will want to zoom in on the video to 100% at least! 11

Repeat steps 10-11 for at least 5 different beads. Copy and paste the data tables for each point mass for into the Excel workbook provided on Blueline. When you have finished, be sure to clean up the slide and cover slip for the next group. Show your instructor your work before continuing. Lab 4 p.4
Tracker If you want to install Tracker in your own laptop, go to
: https://physlets.org/tracker/ • If you are installing Tracker in a MacBook, you may need to set permissions to install Tracker: Go to Settings> System Preferences> General> Security and Privacy, and click "Open anyway". You may be asked for the password you have as user of the Mac Book, so type in your password. Remember to calibrate Tracker based on your movie

Expansion of a gas at the molecular level is explained in terms of particle motion and
probability.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the activity I am able to:
1. Explain a spontaneous process - such as air rushing in to an evacuated chamber -
using particle motion at the molecular level;
2. Distinguish between spontaneous and non-spontaneous processes, and connect
these to a probabilistic description of matter;
3. Explain how a large number of microstates can produce the same macro-state;
4. Use particle motion and probability to explain heat transfer.
Procedure
Direction: This is a guided inquiry activity. Visit the links suggested and observe. Answer the

Learning Goal:
To understand the meaning and the basic applications of pV diagrams
for an ideal gas.
As you know, the parameters of an ideal gas are described by the
equation
PV = nRT
where p is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, 12 is
the number of moles. R is the universal gas constant, and T is the
absolute temperature of the gas. It follows that, for a portion of an
ideal gas,
constant.
One can see that, if the amount of gas remains constant, it is
impossible to change just one parameter of the gas: At least one more
parameter would also change. For instance, if the pressure of the gas
is changed, we can be sure that either the volume or the temperature
of the gas (or, maybe, both!) would also change.
To explore these changes, it is often convenient to draw a graph
showing one parameter as a function of the other. Although there are
many choices of axes, the most common one is a plot of pressure as
a function of volume: a pV diagram.
