Keep It Bottled Up: Linear Rates of Pressure Increase
In this activity, you will see how temperature affects the rate at which an effervescent antacid tablet reacts with water and releases a gas. The rate at which the reaction occurs is measured by the rate of gas production.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/keep-it-bottled-up-linear-rates-of-pressure-increase
Vernier - Boyle's law
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1). When the volume of the syringe is changed by moving the pist...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--boyles-law
