# 0.10 Physical properties of gases

 Page 3 / 3

## Cartesian diver:

The Cartesian diver is named for Rene Descartes (1596-1650), noted French scientist and philosopher. At this station, you will find a plastic soda bottle containing a medicine dropper, water, and air. Squeeze the bottle.

What happens? Why?

## The egg:

Lightly grease the inside of the neck of a 1 L Erlenmeyer flask with stopcock grease. Clamp the flask onto the stand. Place about 5 mL ${H}_{2}O$ in the flask and gently warm it with a Bunsen burner until the water vaporizes. Do not boil the water to dryness. Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath in an evaporating dish. While the flask is warm, seat the egg, narrow end down, in the mouth of the flask. Unclamp the flask, allow to cool slightly sitting on the bench and then immerse it in the ice water. (Read the safety notes above to avoid breaking the flask)

Can you get the egg back out again?

Assuming that the flask reaches the maximum vacuum (minimum pressure) possible before the egg is drawn into the flask, calculate the minimum pressure reached in the flask.

## Expanding balloon:

Partially inflate a balloon. Place the balloon inside the vacuum chamber and close the chamber with the black rubber circle and the top of the chamber carefully centered on the base (A partially inflated balloon may already be in the dessicator). Close the needle valve (at the bottom of the black rubber tubing) by turning it clockwise. Turn the stopcock to the up position to connect the chamber to the vacuum pump. What happens? To open the chamber, turn the stopcock to the left position and open the needle valve.

1. Diffusion:

At the end of your report attach the graphs of each trial.

The average of the rates for the three trials is----------------

The root mean square speed of carvone molecules at 25C is

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compare the result with the diffusion rate you measured. If they are significantly different, offer an explanation.

Would the diffusion take place faster in a vacuum?

2. Gas Laws in a Soda Can:

Describe what happens.

Explain why it happens. You may repeat this experiment using a second soda can if you wish.

Why is it necessary to invert the can in the water?

What would happen if a rigid container were used?

3. Balloon in liquid nitrogen:

The estimated size of the balloon in liters is--------------

What is the pressure inside the balloon before it is placed in the liquid nitrogen?

What is the pressure inside the balloon after it is placed in the liquid nitrogen?

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the percent change in volume expected on going from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature.

Is the volume of the cold balloon consistent with what you calculated, or is it larger or smaller?

Suggest an explanation for your observation. Explain all of your observations in detail using the kinetic molecular theory of gases.

How does the liquid nitrogen cool the gas in the balloon?

4. Balloon in a flask:

What was the effect as the flask cools?

Can you get the balloon back out again?

I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
