Modeling Temperature Effects on the Solubility of CO2
Friday November 8, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am EST
Salem 1B
One of the gas laws, that gases are more soluable in colder temps than warmer temps, is often a concept that students do not understand completely. I researched and put together a lab that models this phenomena. This lab can be used to reinforce prior knowledge, introduce the concept or as a review. Students are asked at the end to extrapolate their knoweldge to a different gas and environment.
