Gases lab questions help...
« on: March 03, 2013, 07:11:21 PM »
Please help me with these two questions..

1. [Boyle's Law]Express the slope of the line in this plot  (V syringe vs. 1/P air) algebraically in terms of the quantities n, R, and T. Recall the Ideal Gas Law equation, PV = nRT, and that any straight line has the general formula y = mx + b.

2. Using your answer to the preceding question and your calculated slope (5146.5)from the V syringe vs. 1/Pair plot, and assuming that the temperature of the laboratory is 298 K, how many grams of air (average molecular weight 28.8 g/mol) were in your sample of air? Be careful with units!

* I don't know if you need this but Atmospheric Pressure is 748.1 mm Hg

You will have to start this problem on your own, at first, before we can help.  You'll have to plot the data, and get a formula for the line.  Then compare the variables along the axes, with the ideal gas law equation.  Its also a line, so you have to see how you will fit them.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
