Constant Temperature: Boyle’s Law with Syringe on OHP
Photo of the Demonstration at the University of Texas at Austin:
Concept Conveyed:
- Demonstrates how pressure and volume are inversely proportional to one another.
Faculty Notes:
- It is recommended to request the demo camera with this demo.
- Single syringe: observe the initial volume measurement on the tube, gently press down on the top of the syringe to decrease volume measurement, and observe the tube return to its original position.
- Conjoined syringes: observe the initial volume measurement on the tubes, gently press down on the top of one of the syringe to decrease volume measurement, and observe the other syringe respond by rising.
