CHEM120 OL, Week 4 LabOL Lab 7: Ideal Gas Law
Learning Objectives
Explain the physical concepts of temperature and absolute zero
Define the relationship between pressure, volume and temperature in gases
using gas thermometry
Apply the Ideal Gas Law
Introduction
Just because Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin defined their own temperature scales and
named them after themselves, it doesn’t mean that you can’t create your own! In the
Ideal Gas Law simulation, you will define the physical concept of temperature and
absolute zero. You will observe how ideal gas molecules behave according to the Ideal
Gas Law, and you’ll learn about the relationship between pressure, volume and
temperature in gases using gas thermometry.
Define your temperature scale
Your first mission in the Ideal Gas Law simulation will be to define a unique temperature
scale. In order to complete this task, you will assign the correct temperature to various
reference points. You will discover at which temperature water freezes and nitrogen
boils. At the end of this mission, you will be able to calculate a new value for the
Boltzmann’s constant.
Formulate the Ideal Gas Law
Imagine how easy it would be to understand the behavior of an ideal gas if the gas
molecules were so big that they could be seen with the naked eye. Well, in this
simulation they can! The gas molecules are magnified, so you can see what is
otherwise invisible. Your next mission is to define the relationship between the pressure,
temperature and volume of an ideal gas sealed in a glass jar.
Experiment with gas thermometry
Handling extreme temperatures is not a hazard as long as you’re a part of this
simulation! Observe the changes in the pressure of an ideal gas as you cool it down
from the temperature of boiling water to the temperature of boiling nitrogen. You will
have complete freedom to repeat the experiment with any amount of gas and to define
the absolute zero temperature.
Are you ready to apply the Ideal Gas Law and everything you learned in gas
thermometry in order to assist in the transport of an organ for a transplant surgery?
