In Ideal Gas for Chemistry, experiments focus on Charles' Law, Avogadro's Law, partial pressure, density, and more. Students have the option of conducting predefined experiments or creating their own experiments using a variety of gases and equipment, including piston chambers, fixed-volume chambers, hot plates, and thermometers.

      Boyle's Law is the focus of the experiment  shown here. Boyle's Law states that at a constant  temperature, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to  the pressure. By filling the piston chamber with air and  recording the pressure before and after adding standard  masses to the top of the chamber, students can determine the  effect of pressure on the volume of gas.
