I. OBJECTIVE:
 Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of gases at constant temperature.

II. MATERIALS:
 Marshmallows
 Syringe

III. PROCEDURE:
I. Place the mini marshmallows in a syringe. Push the plunger down just until it touches the top of the marshmallows.
Put your finger over the tip of the syringe to form a seal. Pull up the plunger.
Guide Questions:
1. What happens to the marshmallows? _____________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________

2. What is being decreased inside the syringe? _______________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________________

3. What is being increased? ______________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________________

II. Take your finger off the tip. Pull the plunger to the top of the syringe, seal the tip with your finger again and push
the plunger down.

III. Problem Solving: GRESA Method

1. The inflated balloon that slipped from the hand of RENN has a volume of 0.50 L at sea level (1.0 atm) and it reached a height
of approximately 8 km where the atmospheric pressure is approximately 0.33 atm. Assuming that the temperature is constant,
compute for the final volume of the balloon.
2. Oxygen gas inside a 1.5 L gas tank has a pressure of 0.95 atm. Provided that the temperature remains constant, how much
pressure is needed to reduce its volume by ½?
