I’ve Got Gas… a PBA

Part I: Write a paragraph on what a gas is. Then a write a paragraph about the phases of matter (compare and contrast them). Discuss the role of energy in phase changes. Use a diagram to illustrate one the above concepts.

Part II: Describe (the setup, the procedure, the results) at least two demonstrations from class that prove that gasses are matter. Use neat color diagrams to drive your point….

Part III: Answer the following questions about the Mass‘O’Gas lab.

  1. Summarize what was done in the first of the mass of gas experiments. Portray the important steps of the procedure. Explain what the experiment illustrated and what laws of matter are supported by the findings.
  2. Describe three places where error could occur in the first experiment. Be sure to think before you answer because I would like to know three important ones, not just the first three that come to mind.
  3. Describe three places where error could occur in the second experiment. (same caveat as above)
  4. Give two examples of where the law of conservation of matter could be demonstrated in your everyday life.
  5. Explain why gas densities are always given with the Standard Temperature and Pressure (0 Celsius and 1 atmosphere)?
  6. If a lab group got too high of a gas volume result (like 250 mL) when using method two, then what would be the most likely cause of this?
  7. Bill Nye took a ziploc bag, an Alka Seltzer tablet, and a little bit of water. He put the water and then the tablet in the bag, sealed it, and watched it fill with gas. He found the mass of the bag, water and the tablet to have a total mass of 43.4 grams before they were put together. What would be the mass of the bag after the reaction has completed? Defend your answer.
  8. Explain how the upside-down thermometer works. Incorporate kinetic-molecular theory in your explanation.

Part V: Make a graph (in class) of your classes data from the Boyle’s Law experiment.

Part IV: Answer the following questions about the Boyle’s Law experiment. Be sure to relate each of your answers directly to the experiment that you conducted in class. That is to say – what do the answers to these questions have to do with the experiment???….

  1. What is gas pressure? What causes it??
  2. Compare and contrast heat and temperature.
  3. What is an Ideal Gas? Do they exist?
  4. What is Kinetic Molecular Theory?
  5. What is Absolute Zero?
  6. Compare and contrast Celsius and Kelvin

Part III: Answer the following questions about the Mass‘O’Gas lab.

  1. What did we do in the first mass-of-the gas experiment? What law of matter did it demonstrate?
  2. When we did the first mass of the gas experiment, how did we calculate the mass of the gas? Use the example data from the table one to help explain your answer.
  3. Describe three places where Be sure to think before you answer because I would like to know three important ones, not just the first three that come to mind.
  4. Describe three places where error could occur in the second experiment. (same caveat as above)
  5. Explain the law of conservation of matter. How would you use a piece of paper and a book of matches to illustrate this law? (explain what you would do and why)
  6. If you try to mass a balloon full of CO2 on a triple beam balance, would you get an accurate result? Defend your answer.
  7. Explain how the upside-down thermometer works. Hint: The answer has a lot to do with kinetic-molecular theory.
  8. Use the example data from table two to find the mass of the gas. Show all your work.
