Thermal Properties of Matter cont.

The prediction of the hot aluminum can rapidly implode when submerged into ice water sealing off the opening.  The can immediately shrunk the volume.


The aluminum can took in the volume of the water as the temperature drops, instead of shrinking the volume of itself.


The seven units of pressure and the conversion of atm to Pa.


Prediction graph of the relationship of pressure versus volume.  The graph predicts an inverse relationship decaying as volume increases.


The actual experiment using lab instruments and the line fit using y=1/ax+b.  The fit of the curve is inverse with the adjustment of b shifting the graph to where the data line is.







The prediction of the pressure versus temperature graph.

The data for initial pressure and temperature before the start of the experimentation.


Data from the experiment showing a linear relationship instead of the curved relationship as predicted in the previous photo.


The further examination of the Boltzmann's constant, the R constant, and Avogadro's constant.


Sample calculation from the lecture notes


The increase of volume when pressure of the air was vacuumed away.  The balloon was dramatically increasing in size.


Prof Mason released the pressure and the balloon goes back in it's original volume.


Our prediction of the balloon and marshmellow in the vacuum pressure chamber.


Sample calculation from the lecture notes.
