0.498

Question 3

Measure the volume of the gas in the syringe. Estimate it to the nearest 0.5 mL. mL

Revolt · Accepted Answer

47.5

Question 4

Notice that the exponent is very close to –1. The equation is essentially in the form ofV = kP–1,

Revolt · Accepted Answer

an inverse proportion.

Question 5

The top of the syringe is a circle. You need to compute its area for use in later computations of pressure values. Start by using a ruler to measure the diameter. Estimate to the nearest 0.01 cm. cm
