Understanding Gas Properties Experiment

The document outlines an activity designed to demonstrate the properties of gases, including mass, volume, temperature, and pressure. It includes various experimental setups to observe the behavior of gases in different conditions, such as comparing the mass of inflated and deflated balloons, measuring volume changes in a water-oil mixture, and observing temperature variations in air above water. The activity encourages hands-on exploration and critical thinking about the characteristics of gases.

Activity 1

Getting to Know Gases


Objective:
Prove that gases
have the following
properties: mass,
volume,
temperature, and
Gases
and Its
Mass
Set up A
1
Is the mass of the
deflated balloon
different from the
mass of the
inflated balloon?
2
Which is heavier, the
inflated or the deflated
balloon? Why?
Gases and
Its
Volume
Set up B
Put approximately 50.0
mL of water in the
graduated cylinder.
Cover the water with
cooking oil up to
approximately 70.0
mL.
Let the oil
settle at the top of the
water.
Set up B
Dip the tip of the
pipette in the water-oil
mixture until it reaches
the water portion of
the mixture.
Carefully press the
aspirator at the other
end of the pipette to
introduce air in the
mixture.
3
What happens to the
volume reading of the
water-oil mixture when
air is introduced to it?
Set up B
4
What does it indicate?
Gas
and its
temperature
Pour approximately
150 mL of water in a
beaker
5.
What will be the
initial temperature of
the air just above the
water level?
Fill the beaker with
crushed ice up to the
water level.
After 5 minutes,
measure the
temperature of the air
just above the water
level?
6.
What will be the
initial temperature of
the air just above the
water level?
Assemble the wire
gauze, tripod, and
alcohol lamp.
Place a beaker
with water on the wire
gauze.
Heat the water until it
boils and get the
temperature of the air
just above the water
level.
7.
Is there a difference in
the temperature of air
among the three
set-ups?
8.
Explain the difference
in temperature of air
Gases
and Its
Pressure
Transfer a hot water
into the Erlenmeyer
flask.
Carefully place an
inflated balloon on the
mouth of the
Erlenmeyer flask
with hot water.
Remove the
inflated balloon
from the Erlenmeyer
flask.
Get a deflated
balloon and place
it at the mouth of the
Erlenmeyer flask.
Assemble the wire
gauze, tripod, and
alcohol lamp. Heat the
Erlenmeyer flask with
a deflated balloon.
9
What happens to the
shape of the balloon?
10
What causes the
balloon to change its
shape and size?
