-
In a demonstration of Boyle's law,
-
we'll place the balloon
in a vacuum bell jar.
-
We'll apply a vacuum, which basically
pumps out the air in the bell jar.
-
The pressure outside the balloon
will be greater than the pressure inside.
-
The balloon expands to try
and equalize the pressure.
-
Volume and pressure are
inversely related to each other.
-
When we release the vacuum,
the pressure increases
-
and the volume decreases.
-
As another demonstration of Boyle's law,
we will put a marshmallow peep
-
into our vacuum jar.
-
The marshmallow contains air
trapped in a mixture of gelatin and sugar.
-
As we apply the vacuum,
-
the pressure outside
is lower than the pressure inside
-
the air in the peep will expand
to try and equalize the pressure.
-
When we release the vacuum,
-
the pressure increases,
and the volume decreases.
-
As another illustration of Boyle's law,
-
we will put some shaving cream
into our vacuum jar.
-
The shaving cream contains air
trapped in a soap mixture.
-
As we apply a vacuum, the pressure outside
is lower than the pressure inside,
-
the shaving cream will expand to try
and equalize the pressure.
-
As you decrease the pressure,
the volume increases.
