Data Analysis

In order to analyze your acquired data, you will use Google Sheets. A template for Google Sheets has been created for you and can be found on Google Classroom.

  1. Notice the data table has already been created for you. Enter the temperature data at room temperature.
  2. Now enter temperature data for both cold/ice water and hot water.
  3. Now enter pressure data for all temperatures. A graph should appear in a box that previously said "No data".
  4. Add a trendline to the graph by opening the chart editor and clicking on “series” and clicking the “add trendline” box. The default trendline is linear which is what you want.
  5. Then answer the questions below.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Upload an image of your graph by taking a screenshot and uploading it as a file into the answer box.

Screenshot Instructions

laptop: Use the snipping tool to highlight an area on the screen that can then be saved to your Google Drive.

Macbook: Command + shift + 4 then highlight the area on the screen that can be saved to your Google Drive.

Chromebook: Ctrl + switch key (button that allows you to switch between windows on top row) will allow you to save your screenshot in your Google Drive.

Upload files that are less than 5MB in size.
File Delete

Describe the relationship that you observe between pressure and temperature. Is it a direct or inverse relationship?

At what temperature does the pressure of the gas equal zero?

Do you think temperature can keep dropping indefinitely? Why or why not?

What do you think a pressure of zero would indicate?
