Boyle's Law with Syringes

Identifier: T: H - 043

1-kg mass atop a piston made from a syringe and wood blocks; an extra weight rests nearby

Concept Overview:

Step(s) to Follow	Expected Result
To show Boyle's Law: Adjust syringe so that it contains a suitable volume of air. Place 2-kg mass on top of platform and note change in volume. Place a 2nd 2-kg mass on top of the first and note change in volume	Volume decreases as you add mass - the first mass causes a large decrease; the second causes a smaller decrease
To show Charles' Law: Immerse in a beaker of hot water or ice water and note changes	The volume will change depending on the temperature
