Data Collection

Clear all changes made to the simulation by clicking on the orange circled arrow in the bottom right corner.

Setup your lab environment by toggling on the width in the upper right hand corner and adjusting the size of the container to $5$ nm using the handle on the left.

Expand the particles option on the right by clicking the green box with the white $"t"$ and adding $50$ heavy and $50$ light particles $($you can use the double right arrow buttons to add $50$ particles at once$).$

Open your preferred spreadsheet program $($excel$,$ google sheets, numbers, etc.$)$ and create a table to store your observations $($see sample table below$).$

Record your first observation now in your table noting the length of the container $($in nm$)$ and the pressure $($in atm$)$

Continue to increase the container size incrementally by $1$ nm recording both the length and resultant pressure until you reach $15$ nm $.$

Once you have all $11$ data points, you are ready to graph your results.

Graph Your Results

For this exercise, you'll be creating $2$ graphs: pressure versus volume and $\frac{1}{?}$ pressure versus volume.

Note: Both of these graphs require transformation of one of the variables prior to graphing.

Pressure Versus Volume Graph

The experimental observations were taken in nm$,$ a unit of length. Conversion of this into volume $$ is required before graphing. Assume your container has sides of equal length.

Make sure your graph has axis titles, line of best fit, and a title.

Once complete, take a screenshot of your graph and upload it below.
