A Modest Proposal

2. Read and record the temperature of the gas using the thermometer attached to the container.

Robert Boyle, a philosopher and theologian, studied the properties of gases in the 17th century. He noticed that gases behave similarly to springs; when compressed or expanded, they tend to ‘spring’ back to their original volume. He published his findings in 1662 in a monograph entitled The Spring of the Air and Its Effects. You will make observations similar to those of Robert Boyle and learn about the relationship between the pressure and volume of an ideal gas.

Since Thanksgiving just passed I figured this was a good example! The temperature plunger on a turkey syringe thermometer pops out when the turkey is done. The gas law that is used in this example is Charles Law. “Charles’s law states that if a given quantity of gas is held at a constant pressure, its volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature” ( Timberlake et al , 2007). This law basically means that temperature of the gas increases and gets higher , the gas molecules inside the turkey move around faster and hit the walls of the turkey which puts more and more force causing the volume to increase and the turkey syringe to pop out indicating that the turkey is done. The volume of air inside the turkey becomes trapped causing

I think with any crime there should definitely be some sort of physical evidence to help convict a person. Time after time, victims tend to forget or add false details because they are so traumatized by the incident. This is why prosecutors should have complete physical evidence to convict someone else. Too many people are wrongfully accused for crimes they never committed and like the movie their lives never go back to normal. No amount of money in the world could ever get back the time lost away from family and friends, or help correct the life they may have had if they weren’t wrongly convicted. It seems to me that our justice system has become increasingly corrupted over the years. Many times the courts just want to convict someone with

College can be a very difficult place if you don’t have any assistance but with these recourses you have help in every area. I haven’t gotten a chance to use all of these recourses but the ones I have used have been more than helpful. When I first got my schedule I was confused about how the textbook numbers and the bookstore worked. I walked into the bookstore and someone was able to help me right away. A woman walked with me around the store and collected all of my textbooks within minutes. Another important recourse is the counseling service. Being a college student can be very stressful and confusing. How do I know I’m taking the proper classes I need? This service gives assistance in that area. They are also able to help with personal

Main Point Two: The measurement of inflated to the uninflated balloon is important throughout the balloon animal process.

This can be demonstrated with Boyle’s Law that states PV=nkT where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of air molecules, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is the gas temperature. If we rearrange the equation to solve for pressure, the only values that change are either the pressure or volume when bending the ball. When we know pressure goes up, then the volume of air on that side of the ball must go down. Since there is less volume on one side of the ball, then that leaves more volume and less pressure on the other side of the

On this test, the car traveled nearly 7 meters in 8 seconds. The car's average speed was 0.82 meters per second. On this test, our car weighed 18 grams. The car was still very light so weight wasn’t that big of a factor on this test. Aerodynamics was another thing we pretty much did not have to worry about. At the beginning, the balloon has a large surface area, but as time goes on, the surface area gets smaller because of the elasticity in the rubber squeezing the air out. We remembered that on test 1, the balloon did not propel the car forward for that long of a time. We think this is because since the tube is

In the fourth stage of this experiment, the density of a gas was determined. A 250ml flask was weighed with an empty rubber balloon and the mass was recorded.

In order to develop this laboratory, we used a spring-loaded as a projectile launcher and a Teflon ball as a projectile. To get more accurate results, we follow certain steps to make our experiment listed as follows:

___The helium in the tank must be more dense than the helium in the balloons. ______________________________________________________________________

11) The gas accumulation in the balloon was measured and recorded at one minute intervals for a total of 10 minutes (qualitative observations were included)

Thesis: Latex balloons should not be banned due to their possibility of harming the environment, considering that the latex balloon has become essential for balloon decor and much more, such as latex creations presented as art.
