Today in class we discussed the inverse relationship that exists between the pressure and volume of gas systems when other variables (temperature and the number of particles) remains the same. After conceptualizing this relationship, we gave it its formal name: Boyle's Law. We then applied Boyle's law and saw it in action by using large syringes to cause marshmallows to expand. Additionally, we used our particle models and Boyle's Law to explain the function of the potato launcher that was demonstrated in class.
After using the models to explain the demos, we went over have we can use the Boyle's law relationship to calculate the change in volume that results from a change in pressure, or the change in pressure that results from a change in volume.

HW:
- Complete the Boyle's Law practice problems (front side of WS). You will have the back side as well as other problems tomorrow night. If you would like to attempt the backside tonigh to spread out the work feel free. Use your clock models to help you figure out how the number moles and volume relate.
- IMF Question packet should be finished by tomorrow in preparation for your test June 10. We will not be going over the questions in class. See me if you have questions about the problems.
