Graph # 3

Irish chemist Robert Boyle (1627-1691) set up experiments exploring the relationship between the pressure and volume of a trapped air sample. Here is actual data from Boyle's experiment. Graph this data (don't forget title and labels) and then answer questions about the graph.

Volume (cubic inches) Pressure (inches Hg)
117.5 12.0
87.2 16.0
70.7 20.0
58.8 24.0
44.2 32.0
35.3 40.0
29.1 48.0

1. What type of relationship is shown by this graph? Explain your answer.

2. What is the volume of gas at a pressure of 35 inches Hg? Use the graph.

3. What is the pressure of gas at a volume of 100 cubic inches?

4. Put your name in one of the cells of the spreadsheet and print it out. Put all three graphs together and turn them in.
