Avagadro's law

The last law we learned this week is Avagadro's law. This law states that equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules. For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant.

Charles's Law

The next law we learned was Charles's law. This law describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles's law is. When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related. This is also a little easy to remember.

New Unit

We started a new unit this week and it is about gas laws. most of it is math so it isn't that difficult for me. Remembering the formulas might be a little tricky though so I hope I can get that down.
We have to know each law. the first one is Boyle s law. it just states the relationship between pressure and volume .

Preparation for test

This unit is pretty easy. I understand it fairly well and have high hopes for it. Here are some helpful links for it.

Specific heat lab

We have a new unit and this is the lab for it. In this lab we tested specific heat.  We tested the temperature of our tap water, then boiled our copper in a test tube in a hot water bath. It was a short lab and wasn't my favorite. It was a little fun though.

Building a Boat

Another part of the bio diesel unit is building a boat and racing it. Sadly I wasn't here in the building a boat part but I did help my partner in making  the fuel. It is made from oil from chick fila. It was pretty cool making it. I really enjoyed this unit. Our boat did not win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd however. we got 4th. Our class i think had the boat with the longest time though. It was like 2 mins and 40 second. Props to Ganon and Riley for that achievement.
