Kinetic particle model of matter — practice question

A student performs an experiment to investigate how the pressure $p$ and the volume $V$ of a fixed mass of gas are related. The table shows four of her measurement sets.
(a(i))[2]

Use the table data to suggest how pressure and volume are related in this experiment. Explain how you reach your conclusion.

(a(ii))[1]

State the property of the gas, other than the mass, that stays constant throughout the experiment.

(b(i))[2]

Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the lake caused by this depth of water.

(b(ii))[2]

In each row of the table, place one tick to show what happens to the volume, the mass and the density of the gas in the bubble.
