The apparatus has a gauge to measure the pressure and a scale that can be used to measure volume (a ) 588130 Fig. 7.1 4) The mass of air in the glass tube is kept constant throughout this investigation, Name another variable that must also be kept constant. ul (i) Sketch a graph of volume versus pressure that you would expect from this investigation. R) The combined gas lew examines the behavior of a constant amount of gas when pressure, volume and/or temperature is allowed to change. A can of air freshener is used until itis empty except for the propellant, a gas. (@——_Onthe can is the warning “Store only at temperatures below 120°F (48.8°C). Do not incinerate.” Explain why this warning is given. 2] (ii) The gas in the cam is initially at 24°C and 360 kPa and the can has a volume of 360 mL.
