This was our set up for the lab to determine the relationship between the temperture of the water relative to the volume of the plunger considering negligible friction between the walls of the plunger.
First we found the entire volume of the flask with the stopper to be 40.5cc to account for all the air within the system. then we lowered the flask into three different temperatures: hot, cold, and room temperature. During each temp there was a volume change within the plunger representing how the temp affected the volume of the gas. From the results we were able to retreive three data points to graph.
Using these data points we were able to create a graph where we see a linear relationship between volume and temperature. Using this line we obtained a linear function where the slope represents the ideal gas law constant.
