The goal of this experiment was to answer the question "what is the effect of a gas' temperature on its volume? " you formulated the hypothesis below to test this hypothesis, you changed the of the gas between 0 and 100°c (273 and 373 k) and calculated the resulting of the gas done hypothesis: if a fixed amount of gas is heated, then the volume will increase because the heat will cause the molecules of gas to move faster and further apart.
