Volume Temperature Relationships
Name________________________________ Lab Section___________________________
Problem Statement: How are temperature and volume of a gas sample related?
I. Data Collection:
A. Go to http://cheminfo.chem.ou.edu/~mra/home.html and open the Volume/Temperature
Simulation. Your screen should look like the figure.
The apparatus represents a container that is filled with a gas. The gas is confined in the
container by a movable weight. The volume of the gas can change with temperature
so that the pressure on the gas exerted by the weight remains constant. The temperature
can be changed by using the slide bar under the target temperature box. You can expose a
table that shows the temperature and volume data you collect by clicking on the ‘Show
Data Table” box.
