INDEX D2 : KINETIC THEORY OF GASES

D2.02 SMALL AND LARGE MOLECULES (Equipartition of Energy)

On the air table, different size pucks model a mixed gas. Between collisions, the smaller molecules move faster than the more massive molecules.

D2.03 MAGDEBURG HEMISPHERES

Shows the pressure of the atmosphere by the difficulty of separating the evacuated hemispheres.

D2.06 THERMAL AGITATION

An evacuated tube contains liquid mercury and bits of colored glass. When the mercury is heated, the motion of the vapor can be deduced from the agitation of the glass particles.

D2.07 CRUSH THE CAN

As a metal can is evacuated, atmospheric pressure crushes the walls. WARNING: Demo uses consumable materials. Please give advance notice.

D2.08 FIRE SYRINGE

Adiabatic compression generates enough heat to ignite paper.
