Objective :
Investigate the relationship between temperature and pressure at
constant volume.
Materials :
110C thermometer
Erlenmeyer flash/bottle
Cork or rubber stopper
Denatured alcohol
Liquid dropper
Procedure :
1. Insert the thermometer into the stopper,
2. Put 5 drops of denatured alcohol in the Erlenmeyer flask
3. Cover the Erlenmeyer flask with the stopper that you prepared in
procedure 1. The size of the stopper should fit the mouth of the
Erlenmeyer flask. Wait for 2 minutes before measuring the
temperature.
4. Shake the Erlenmeyer flask for 2 minutes and take the temperature
reading.
5. Perform the three trials and record the data.

another 2 minutes.
Liquid Dropper
Cylindrical Container
Denatured alcohol
Match/Candle
Ruler
Procedure:
1. Get a cylindrical container made of hard carton and bore a hole near its
bottom.
2. Remove the cover of the cylindrical container and put 5 drops of
denatured alcohol.
3. Cover and hold the cylindrical container in such a way that your thumb
is covering the hole near these base
4. Shake the container vigorously for 1 minute.
5. Place the container on the table or arm rest. As quickly as possible
place a lighted match/candle near the hole. Observe what will happen.
Guide Question:
Q1. What happen to the cylindrical container when a source of heat is place
near the hole?
Q2. Why do you need to shake the container after putting 5 drops of
denatured alcohol?
Q3. How is the volume of the gases related to its temperature and pressure?

1. Threat a string through the straw and tie its ends tightly between two
points at equal heights in the room
2. Inflate the balloon and keep the neck closed between your fingers
3. Fix the balloon underneath the drinking straw with a sticky tape and
pull the balloon along to one end of the string.
4. Pull your fingers against the mouth of the balloon then let go.
Q1. Explain why the balloon shoots along the thread at a speed using the
concept of the gas laws?
