fire syringe

video of our fire syringe. start video at 20 seconds to see flame. 
Fire syringe we used to calculate the final temperature of the gas as we push the syringe down. 
This is our calculations for final temperature of the gas where we measured the initial and final volume, initial temperature of the gas, and initial and final length the syringe travels. using what was measured we were able to calculate a value of 2590.6K. Our biggest uncertainty would come from the measurements of the radius of the inner tube and the distance the plunger travels through which would give us a larger uncertainty. 
This is the answers for the state variable and ideal gas law questions. 

playing with the isothermal process we go a non linear curve as shown showing that as volume increases pressure decreases at a non constant rate and vice-versa.
