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 = nRTWhere 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 1/V. First...
