Experiment #3 (Gas)
a). My first hypothesis was correct. I had a hypothesis of the glove inflating when the flask was put in the hot water because I knew that gasses with more thermal energy tend to go upwards and I assumed that the heat would make the gas particles inside the bottle expand and inflate the glove when there is no more space in the bottle
My second hypothesis was also correct. I had a hypothesis of the glove deflating when the flask was put in ice because I knew that when gasses were cooled, the particles would start attracting each other more. When the gas particles that were in the glove start contracting, they would end up leaving the glove and the gas would contract enough to pull the glove in.
b). I saw the glove inflate. I think this happen because when the gas particles inside the flask were heated, they expanded. With nowhere else for the expanded gas to go, it goes into the glove. Therefore, inflating the glove. …show more content…
I think this happened because when the gas particles had less thermal energy and the gas contracted, there had to be something in the empty space where the particles have left. Therefore, the glove, a solid, had to take place of the contracted particles.
c). I think an interesting way of changing the experiment would be to start with the glove inside the flask and see if it would still inflate. My hypothesis is that it will still inflate, but would take longer. I think this because the gas particles would eventually expand enough to move into the glove.
Next, we could try putting the flask in ice while the glove is already deflated and put inside the flask. My hypothesis for that experiment is that the glove will be pulled to the bottom of the flask. I think this because while the gas is contrasting, it sucks in any substitute particles it can get to take its
