  Water balloon volume -  How much water does a balloon hold?   87 Demonstration
Avogadro’s law and Standard Molar Volume Thermal expansion of gases Dry ice is placed in balloon, plastic bag or rubber glove and sealed, then with time inflates the object.   It usually won't explode the balloon, but might break the seal on the bags to give a pop sound.  Also on Shakashiri tape 2 #29 30 Demonstration
Avogadro’s law and Standard Molar Volume Chemical pop gun, rocket -vinegar and baking soda Mix in a sunny delight bottle to shoot off the lid.  This spews solution in the room, so best to do outside   117 Demonstration
Avogadro’s law and Standard Molar Volume methane bubbles, snake charming bubble methane gas through a funnel of soapy water to make bubble snake to light   141 Demonstration
Avogadro’s law and Standard Molar Volume Thermal expansion of gases Dry ice sublimes and inflates the container. Shakashiri tape 2 #29 M8 Movie
Boyle’s Law: Volume-Pressure Relationship Boyle's law The volume of gas is decreased while the pressure increases-shown by adding water to a series of flasks so all the air is forced into fewer flasks.   Also, the cartesian diver, the mass of a textbook applications. 73 Demonstration
Charle’s Law: Volume-Temperature Relationship Charles's law (T, V) Cooled, then warmed up flask causes syringe plunger to rise. Not too interesting, but it works 31 Demonstration
Charles’ Law: Volume-Temperature Relationship Sublimation and gas expansion Dry ice, warm water in Sunny delight bottles-shoots lid; dry ice fog.  Put a few chunks of dry ice and a little water into the bottle and snap on the lid.  Be sure it is standing upright and not pointed at anyone.   Also on Shakhashiri tape III #40.  Try to keep track of where the lid goes so it can be reused. 89 Demonstration
Charles’ Law: Volume-Temperature Relationship Sublimation and gas expansion   Shakhashiri tape III #40. M32 Movie
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures Dalton's law of partial pressures Three different gases of 3 different volumes give additive pressures. Also on Shakashiri tape 2 #30 74 Demonstration
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures Dalton's law of partial pressures Three different gases of 3 different volumes give additive pressures. Shakashiri tape 2 #30 M27 Movie
Diffusion and Effusion Flow of gases through a porous cup A porous cup is placed in a beaker of a light gas or a heavy gas to cause water in a connected flask to be ejected due to increased pressure, or to bubble due to air entry.  Low mw gases flow faster than high mw gases.  Diffusion.   75 Demonstration
Diffusion and Effusion methane bubbles, snake charming bubble methane gas through a funnel of soapy water to make bubble snake to light   141 Demonstration
Diffusion and Effusion Effusion and diffusion   See also Shakhashiri tape#II #32.  Large plastic tray with a nose drawn on the bottom inside, and large yellow, orange, red, pink jellybeans, ~5 purple jelly beans, Shake the tray to show jelly beans going toward the nose, and some get into it.  Also, pour about 10ml AmOH into a 100ml beaker and let it diffuse for students to smell the ammonia smell.   161 Demonstration
Diffusion and Effusion Diffusion Tape shows diffusion of bromine vapor in air and in a vacuum. Shakhashiri tape#II #32 M44 Movie
Kinetic-Molecular Theory Effusion and diffusion   See also Shakhashiri tape#II #32.  Large plastic tray with a nose drawn on the bottom inside, and large yellow, orange, red, pink jellybeans, ~5 purple jelly beans, Shake the tray to show jelly beans going toward the nose, and some get into it.  Also, pour about 10ml AmOH into a 100ml beaker and let it diffuse for students to smell the ammonia smell.   161 Demonstration
Kinetic-Molecular Theory Diffusion Tape shows diffusion of bromine vapor in air and in a vacuum. Shakhashiri tape#II #32 M44 Movie
Pressure Collapsing can Heated water in soda can, invert into water.  The heated can has a partial vacuum and when sealed by the water it implodes with noise. Very popular.  Be sure to practice.  Also on Shakhashiri tape 2 #28 32 Demonstration
Pressure Egg experiments besides CaO baking soda, egg in a bottle, osmosis    123 Demonstration
Pressure Dry ice air hockey Sublimation so puck "floats".   Best done in a class with tables so students can shoot the dry ice to each other. 139 Demonstration
