A sample of gas is trapped in a sealed container, which has a movable lid. Moving the lid up or down will change the volume inside the container. You will use an attached thermometer to record the temperature inside the container.

Procedure:
1) Carefully measure the volume of the trapped gas using the graduations (markings) on the side of the container.
2) Read and record the temperature of the gas using the thermometer attached to the container.
3) Use the buttons on the heater to change the temperature of the gas. The volume of the gas will change in response to the temperature change. Notice that the container is sealed and the pressure is adjusted so that it remains constant. Measure and record the volume and temperature of the contained gas.
4) Continue this process until data is obtained for at least six different temperatures. Be sure that the temperatures represent a large range of values in order to help you answer questions about the relationship between temperature and volume.

Data and Observations:


Conclusion:
According the graph, the relationship between volume and temperature is very consistent. As the volume increases every mililiter, the temperature increases every five celcius.
