200

How gas particles change in speed as temperature increases.

What is moving faster?

200

The materials required for the experiment

What is a balloon, an Erlenmeyer flask, a larger flask, and hot water?

What Charles Law States

What is that the volume of a fixed amount of dry gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (K°) when the pressure (P) remains constant?

300

the variable that must change for pressure to stay constant if the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases.

What is volume?

300

The effect that heating the flask has on the balloon

what is the balloon inflating?

300

At 27.00 °C a gas has a volume of 6.00 L. What will the volume be at 150.0 °C?

8.46 L

400

The difference between Charles law and Gay Lussac's Law.

What is that while Gay Lussac's law has the volume stay constant, Charles law has the pressure stay constant?

400

the assumption that Charles Law assumes for it to work.

What is that the volume of the individual gas particles is negligible?

The process of the experiment

What is:

1. Slightly inflating the balloon.

2. putting the balloon in the erlenmeyer flask.

2. putting hot water in the bigger flask

3. putting the smaller flask in the bigger flask
