B3 practical: Verification of Boyle's law

In this practical the pressure of a sample of gas trapped in a syringe will be measured with a pressure sensor. Boyles law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature the pressure will be inversely proportional to the volume. This can be expressed as: PV = nRT Where n = the number of molesR = molar gas constant (8.31 m2kgs-2K-1mol-1) You want to see if P is proportional to 1/V so need to calculate...
