Boyle's Law: pressure and volume from a real syringe run

Students use the UNED Boyle remote lab to read pressure from real video, calculate PV and 1/V, and decide whether pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

• Use a real Boyle remote-lab video to collect pressure-volume evidence.
• Calculate 1/V and PV from consistent volume and pressure units.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

Can Boyle's law predict the pressure?

Use an initial real measurement to predict later pressures, then test those predictions against the same syringe run.

• Use P1V1 = P2V2 to predict pressure at three later volumes.
• Compare predictions with measurements using absolute and percentage error.

Do two Boyle runs agree?

Compare two real Boyle runs at matched volumes and decide what repeatability does—and does not—tell us.

• Collect matched readings from two prerecorded 60 mL trials.
• Calculate absolute and percentage differences at three matched volumes.

Half the volume, double the pressure?

Test a memorable inverse-proportion claim with the 20 mL and 10 mL readings from a real Boyle run.

• Measure pressure at 20 mL and 10 mL in the same syringe run.
• Calculate the pressure ratio after volume is halved.

Pressure limit: how far can we compress?

Turn three readings from a real syringe run into an engineering recommendation with a pressure limit and safety margin.

• Collect pressure readings around a 150 kPa design limit.
• Identify the observed passing/failing bracket between tested settings.

Squeeze the air: what happens to pressure?

Use four readings from a real syringe run to discover what happens to pressure when trapped air has less space.

• Collect four pressure readings from the 20 mL Boyle syringe run.
• Describe the direction of pressure change as volume decreases.

The PV constant challenge

Use five real pressure-volume pairs to decide whether one multiplication rule remains consistent throughout a full syringe compression.

• Collect five selected pressure-volume pairs from the 60 mL run.
• Calculate PV in consistent units for each selected pair.
