States of matter

​Experiment

• What happened to the temperature at the melting point

• What happened at the boiling point

• Explain your observations​

​

• What is happening in each phase

• Discuss any difficulties you had in making your measurements or calculations.​

• What are some improvements you can make​

​Activity

Activity 1

1. Heat up the gas in the conical flask using the water bath

2. Record your observations in your notes

3. Cool down the flask using tap water and record what you observe

4. Discuss your results using the particle theory of gases​

5. Come up with a relationship (equation) that relates temperature and volume at a constant pressure.​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Activity 2

1. Decrease the volume of the gas and record the pressure

2. Repeat this at least 7 times until you have 7 sets of data

3. Plot a graph of pressure vs volume using your data

4. Comment on the relationship between pressure and volume

5. Use your graph to come up with an equation relating pressure and volume​

• Force/Area

• Gases exert pressure on the walls of the container

• Relationship between pressure, volume and temp

​Pressure

• Add heat to a gas and particles move faster

• Particle move further apart

• This in turn increases the volume of the gas

​Temperature
