Document Summary
Lab 3 - the ideal gas law + heat transfer. Previously, we looked at how solar radiation is linked to earth"s global energy budget. From that global energy budget, variations in latitude lead to either a surplus or deficit in that net energy and drives global circulation. In this lab we will look more closely at some of the underlying principles in this circulation: the ideal gas law and heat transfer. In this lab parts 1 3 will investigate the behavior of air under different conditions varying pressures and temperatures. We will assume an ideal gas approximation, and will verify change in the volume of air with pressure change at constant temperature (boyle"s law), and change in the volume of air with temperature change at constant pressure (charles"s law). Also, the universal gas constant r will be determined experimentally, and compared to standard value. Parts 4 6 will investigate the ways heat can be transferred between bodies.
