Processes in an ideal gas

Chemistry

Gas laws

Overview:

Experiment with an ideal gas.

You may:

• Analyse 3 processes:
  • isobaric
  • isochoric
  • isothermal
• Monitor the evolution of V(T), p(T), p(V)
• Change the initial state's values of:
  • pressure
  • volume
  • temperature
• See the final state's values

Suggestions:

You may study:

• Isobaric, isochoric and isothermal processes
• Run experiments for a number of cases of each process
• Predict what to expect and explain the outcomes
• Explain what happens to the internal energy
