Topic/Title BOYLE’S LAW

Grade Level 10
Time Allotment 60 minutes
Content Standard
The learner demonstrates understanding of how gases behave based on the motion and relative
distances between gas particles.
Performance Standards
----
Learning Competencies and Objectives
The learners should be able to investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of gases at
constant temperature.
ELICIT (5 minutes) MATERIALS
The teacher will ask the following questions:
1. How would you describe gases?
2. What are the different physical properties of gas?
ENGAGE (5 minutes)
The teacher will be going to prepare a simple set-up. She will ask
representatives from the class to do the activity entitled "Cartesian
Diver.”

Procedure:
The teacher would show a plastic bottle filled with water. Inside Plastic bottle filled with water
that bottle floats a dropper that is half filled with water. The teacher dropper
would want to see magic then will ask the students to shout ‘’sink”
or ‘’float”. When the bottle is pressed, the test tube inside will sink.
It will sink when the pressure is released.

Hanging Question: What do you think made the dropper inside the
bottle sink or float?

(Note: the teacher would allow the students to answer the hanging
question but will not entertain any of it.)
EXPLORE (15 minutes)
Pre-Activity
 Explaining the rules/procedures of the activity. Activity sheets
 Setting time allotted for the activity. 25 ml syringe
Balloon
Activity Proper
The students will be divided into four groups. They will be given
materials that will describe Boyle’s Law. They will also identify
the relationship between volume and pressure.

*Refer to the attached activity sheet


EXPLAIN (15 minutes)
Post-activity
After the activity, the students will now present the results. A
representative from each group will serve as a reporter.

The teacher will guide the students in their presentation. The


teacher will ask the following questions for them to become
critical thinkers:

Guide Questions:
1. What happened to the balloon inside the syringe when the
plunger was pushed in?
2. What happened when the pressure inside the syringe was
released?
3. When the pressure inside the balloon was
reduced/decreased what have you noticed to the size of the
balloon inside? What happened to its volume?
4. What can you infer about the relationship between the
pressure and volume of gas?

ELABORATE (10 minutes)


The teacher would again ask the hanging question (see C. PPT Presentation
Motivation) on why the dropper inside the plastic bottle sinks and
floats and how could they relate it with Boyle’s Law.

SCIENCE IDEA:
Boyle’s law is a gas law which states that the pressure exerted by a
gas (of a given mass, kept at a constant temperature) is inversely
proportional to the volume occupied by it. In other words, the
pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each
other as long as the temperature and the quantity of gas are kept
constant. Boyle’s law was put forward by the Anglo-Irish chemist
Robert Boyle in the year 1662.

Mathematically, Boyle’s Law can be expressed as,

P1 V 1
=
P2 V 2

Where;
 P1 is the initial pressure exerted by the gas
 V1 is the initial volume occupied by the gas
 P2 is the final pressure exerted by the gas
 V2 is the final volume occupied by the gas

Applying the law (equation):


A fixed amount of a gas occupies a volume of 1L and
exerts a pressure of 400 kPa on the walls of its container. What
would be the pressure exerted by the gas if it is completely
transferred into a new container having a volume of 3 liters
(assuming the temperature and quantity of gas remains constant)?

EVALUATE (10 minutes)


Solve the following problem: Pen and Paper
1. A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a pressure of 40.0 mmHg.
What is the volume when the pressure is increased to 60.0
mmHg?
2. A gas occupies 11.2 liters at 0.860 atm. What is the
pressure if the volume becomes 15.0 L?

Support your answer with computation.


Note three significant figures.
EXTEND (5 minutes)
Boyle's law is often used as part of an explanation on how PPT Presentation
the breathing system works in the human body. This commonly
involves explaining how the lung volume may be increased or
decreased and thereby cause a relatively lower or higher air
pressure within them (in keeping with Boyle's law). This forms a
pressure difference between the air inside the lungs and the
environmental air pressure, which in turn precipitates either
inhalation or exhalation as air moves from high to low pressure.

ACTIVITY: BOYLE’S LAW


Objective:
Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of gases at constant temperature.

Materials:
 25ml Syringe
 Balloon

Procedure:
1. Prepare the setup by inserting the balloon inside the syringe. Remove first the plunger.
2. Replace the plunger on the syringe. Make sure that the plunger is set to 25 ml.
3. Put a finger on opening at the end of the syringe to keep the gas from escaping.
4. (Trial 1) Push the plunger down as much as possible. By doing this, you are increasing
the pressure inside the syringe. What happened to the balloon? Record your observation
on the table below.
5. (Trial 2) While the plunger is pushed down, release the pressure by removing the finger
covering the open end of the syringe. What happened to the balloon? Record your
observation.
6. Set the plunger as low as possible where it is barely touching the balloon.
7. Replace your finger on the open end of the syringe to prevent the gas from going in.
8. (Trial 3) Pull the syringe as high as possible. By doing this, you are lowering the pressure
inside the syringe. What happened to the balloon? Record your observation.
