Precautions:
1) After changing the pressure of the trapped air wait a minute or two
before reading the pressure or volume, to allow the air to reach room
temperature. This is necessary because when the air is compressed or
expanded there may be slight changes in temperature which will affect
t the volume of gas )due to expansion or contraction)
2) When reading volume make sure your eye is level with the Mercury
Meniscus.
3) Make sure air is connected tightly to oil reservoir in let.
4) If a hand suction pump is available you will be able to reduce the
pressure of the gas below atmospheric pressure. You can then take a
future series of values of p and V include them in the table and graph.
