Gay-Lussac's law (with the Cobra3 Basic-Unit)

Product No: P3011111

Principle

The state of a gas is determined by temperature, pressure and amount of substance. For the limiting case of ideal gases, these state variables are linked via the ideal gas law. For a change of state under isobaric conditions this equation converts Gay-Lussac's first law.

Tasks

Experimentally investigate the validity of Gay-Lussac's law for a constant amount of gas (air).
Calculate the universal gas constant and the thermal coefficient of expansion from the relationship obtained.
