Boyle's Law Experiment.
odA gas syringe was attached to a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was calibrated, assuming the atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 100kPa. Differing volumes of gas were created ... Before any readings were taken the pressure sensor had to be calibrated and an approximate value of atmospheric pressure was set, 100kPa. This was not a precise value, but we now are able to say the a ...
