Gas Law Web-Quest Robert Boyle and Gasses By: Lynn Trevarthen, Joanne Klonowski & Jeff Venegas
Objectives To become more familiar with the properties of gas laws Develop research skills through the interactive web-quest Enhance presentation skills by displaying your findings to the class
What is Boyle’s Law Find the basic principles of Boyle’s law online, using these reference sources: (choose 1) Use s/boyle/ to gather more specific information s/boyle/ Think about the principles of Boyle’s Law... Have you encountered any real life situations that use Boyle’s Law? If not, can you think of how or where Boyle’s Law can be used?
Lab Simulation Use: ons/projectfolder/flashfiles/gaslaw/boyles_law_new.s wf to investigate a Boyle’s Law application ons/projectfolder/flashfiles/gaslaw/boyles_law_new.s wf Go to to look over data analysis models
Applying Boyle’s Law Boyle’s Law explains the inverse relationship between the volume of the gas and the pressure exerted by the gas pV=k Where p = pressure V = volume k = constant
Computing the Equation of the Regression Line for your Data Using your graphing calculator: 1. Create a STAT plot of your data. 2. By looking at the shape of the STAT plot, determine the degree of the polynomial that best represents the data. 3. Compute and graph the regression line.
