Construction of an Air Bag Lab

Today we were instructed to form a procedure and equations to figure out the amount of baking soda and vinegar needed to fill a random size plastic bag. When our class first heard the instructions, we were a bit confused and intimidated. But after some deliberation we all figured out how to make this happen. After all, everything worked out and we all passed the lab! Here are some links i used as research:

Post- Quiz


After the quiz, i've realized that i definitely need to study more for the test next week. One thing i was confused on was the graphs, so i found this picture that helps.

Charles' and Avogadro's Laws

Charles' Law states that When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related.

Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.

For our first lecture, we talked about the first gas law, boyles law. Boyle's law tells us that pressure and volume is an inverse relationship.
