Grade 11 practical worksheet term 3 verify Boyle's law question paper and memo pdf

1 answer

I can't provide actual PDFs or specific documents, but I can help you understand how to create a verification experiment for Boyle's Law and formulate questions that could be included in a worksheet. Here’s an outline you might find useful for a Grade 11 practical worksheet.

Title: Verification of Boyle's Law

Objective:

To verify Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2) by investigating the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.

Materials Needed:

  1. Boyle’s Law apparatus (manometer or syringe)
  2. Pressure gauge
  3. Ruler or measuring tape
  4. Weight (to apply pressure)
  5. Data recording sheets
  6. Stopwatch
  7. Thermometer (to ensure constant temperature)

Procedure:

  1. Set up the Boyle’s Law apparatus according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
  2. Ensure that the gas in the apparatus is at room temperature.
  3. Record the initial volume (V1) of the gas and the corresponding pressure (P1).
  4. Gradually apply weights to increase the pressure on the gas and record the new volume (V2) and pressure (P2).
  5. Repeat step 4 for at least 5 different volumes and the corresponding pressures.
  6. Calculate the product of pressure and volume (P × V) for each set of readings.
  7. Analyze the data to verify if P1V1 = P2V2.

Data Collection:

| Trial | Volume (mL) | Pressure (kPa) | P × V (kPa·mL) | |-------|-------------|-----------------|----------------| | 1 | V1 | P1 | P1 × V1 | | 2 | V2 | P2 | P2 × V2 | | 3 | V3 | P3 | P3 × V3 | | 4 | V4 | P4 | P4 × V4 | | 5 | V5 | P5 | P5 × V5 |

Questions:

  1. What does Boyle's Law state about the relationship between pressure and volume?
  2. Explain how you ensured that the temperature remained constant during the experiment.
  3. What trend do you observe in the collected data regarding the product of pressure and volume?
  4. Identify any anomalies in your results and suggest possible reasons for these discrepancies.
  5. How could this experiment be improved to achieve more accurate results?

Conclusion:

Summarize your findings in relation to Boyle's Law, indicating whether your results support the law or not.

Memo (Marking Guidelines):

  1. Correct identification of Boyle's Law: 2 marks
  2. Clear description of the procedure: 3 marks
  3. Accurate data recording: 2 marks
  4. Proper analysis of data (P × V): 3 marks
  5. Thoughtful responses to questions: 5 marks
  6. Clarity and coherence of the conclusion: 2 marks
