Make sure you are on the corresponding tab for the gas law in the simulation. The values for P1, V1,
and T1 are automatically entered. Use the arrows to change the indicated values.

Create a Word document and Give the file the following name: “Gas Law Virtual – Your Name”. You will have
to upload this file to eLearn once you have complete the virtual lab. Make sure to copy and answer the question
after completing each part into your Word document.

Part I: Boyle’s Law:

1. Notice that moles (dots in container) and temperature are held constant.
2. Change the volume, pressure, or both.
3. Make sure it creates a different point are not close together on the graph.
4. Click “Add Data”
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the 5th point which you may have to click “Calculate” in the bottom box.
6. Right click the on simulation and copy image and paste into Word document.

Q1: What do you notice about the trend between changes in pressure and volume?

Part II: Charles’ Law:

1. Notice that moles (dots in container) and pressure are held constant.
2. Change the volume, temperature, or both.
3. Make sure it creates a different point are not close together on the graph.
4. Click “Add Data”
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the 5th point which you may have to click “Calculate” in the bottom box.
6. Right click the on simulation and copy image and paste into Word document.

Q2: What do you notice about the trend between changes in temperature and volume?

Part III: Gay-Lussac’s Law:

1. Notice that moles (dots in container) and pressure are held constant.
2. Change the volume, temperature, or both.
3. Make sure it creates a different point are not close together on the graph.
4. Click “Add Data”
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the 5th point which you may have to click “Calculate” in the bottom box.
6. Right click the on simulation and copy image and paste into Word document.

Q3: What do you notice about the trend between changes in temperature and pressure?
