Scaling the Kelvin
I can determine experimentally absolute zero I know the value of absolute zero I can convert between centigrade and kelvin and vice versa I can describe physically what absolute zero is I can relate a gas law to the real world Learning Outcomes
Charles Law
Determine the volume of air in the sealed syringe at various temperatures Room temperature is done already. You need at least four other data points for a reliable line of best fit. (min 5) Method
Temperature / o CVolume / cm
Temperature / o CVolume / cm
I determined absolute zero as ___________ K The theoretical value is ____________K The error in the experiment comes from______________ __________________________ Conclusion and Evaluation
The temperature at which atomic motion stops: there is no thermal energy This is o C or 0 K Convert your table into kelvin and plot again Absolute zero
Temperature / KVolume / cm
Straight line AND through the origin
