Analysis 1. What happens to the volume of the syringe as the set of weights is
added on top of it? ( Ans. The volume of the gas inside the syringe
decreases.)

weights is added? ( Ans. The pressure increases.)

Abstraction Explain Boyle’s Law (Ans. It states that the volume of a gas is inversely
proportional to the pressure if the temperature and amount of gas remain
constant.)

Application The mechanics of a bicycle pump is governed by Boyle’s Law. The washer
in a bicycle pump allows air enters the barrel from outside during the
upstroke, but during the down stroke, this air can no longer escape to the
outside and is compressed in the barrel. As the volume decreases, the
pressure increases, but at first, the air cannot escape because the valve in
the bicycle inner tube prevents it from entering that tube. This valve is
closed because the pressure of the air already in the tube prevents the
entry of further gas. Only when the pressure of the air in the pump is
greater than that in the inner tube will the valve open and allow more air into
the tube, further increasing the pressure. This means that, at the next
stroke of the pump, the air will have to be compressed even more. As the
pressure in the tube increases, it gets harder and harder to depress the
pump.

**See Supplementary Worksheet

Closure “Gases are distinguished from other forms of matter, not only by their power
of indefinite expansion so as to fill any vessel, however large, and by the
great effect heat has in dilating them, but by the uniformity and simplicity of
the laws which regulate these changes. “
— James Clerk Maxwell

Assessment **See attached NAT simulated questions

Agreement Students will go to some places , investigate ,narrate and explain to class
situations applying Boyle’s law .

Objective:
• Describe the relationship between volume and pressure of gases at constant
temperature.

Materials:
• 25 mL syringe • 5” by 3” illustration board
• set of weights • 6” by 4” by 0.25” wood
• ruler • candle or glue gun
• glue stick • match (if you opted to use candle)

Procedure:
1. Fill the syringe with air by pulling the plunger. See to it that the volume
reading is at approximately 25.0 mL.
2. Seal the opening of the syringe with the melted glue stick.
3. Bore a hole that is very close to the size of the opening of the syringe in a
6” by 4” flat wood. Screw the wood on a stable object. Insert in an upright
position the sealed part of the syringe in the hole of the wood, be sure it is
sturdy.

4. Paste a 5” by 3” illustration board at the end of the plunger. This will serve as
the holder of the weights. You have just prepared a Boyle’s Law Apparatus.

5. Carefully place a 200-gram weight on the holder and get the volume
reading.
6. Place one at a time different weights to the plunger.
If you do not have set of weights, you may use books of the same kind. Be
sure to get the mass of each book.
7. Record the mass and volume reading using Table 5.
