SIMULATION+OF+THE+PROPERTIES+OF+AN+IDEAL+GAS

Back to HOME > IB PHYSICS > THERMAL AHL > THERMODYNAMICS AND GAS LAWS == =SIMULATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF AN IDEAL GAS= Introduce approximately 500 gas particles into the Gas Properties simulation. Investigate the variation of p against T at constant volume. Investigate the variation of V against T at constant pressure (you can measure volume using the ruler provided).

EXTENSION Using pV =nRT, use the simulation to plot a graph from which you can use the gradient to calculate the cross-sectional area of the gas container. You will need values for Avogadro's constant and the molar gas constant, R.
