Boyle's Law: J-Tube
The relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure it exerts, known as Boyle's Law, is shown with a J-tube.

Vapor Pressure: H-bonding vs. dipole-dipole attraction
The vapor pressures of butanol and diethyl ether are compared using barometers to show the effect of hydrogen-bonding on vapor pressure.
Vapor Pressure: Molecular Polarity
The vapor pressures of chloromethane and dichloromethane are compared using barometers to show the effect of polarity on vapor pressure.
Vapor Pressure: Molecular Size - Methanol and Ethanol
The vapor pressures of methanol and ethanol are compared using barometers to show the effect of molecular size on vapor pressure.
Vapor Pressure: Molecular Size - Pentane, Hexane and Heptane
The vapor pressures of pentane, hexane and heptane are compared using barometers to show the effect of molecular size on vapor pressure.
Vapor Pressure of a Mixture: Raoult's Law
Raoult's Law, which describes the vapor pressure of a mixture, is demonstrated using barometers.
Vapor Pressure of a Mixture: Raoult's Law - Example 2
Another mixture of decane and diethyl ether is used to demonstrate Raoult's Law. Students are asked to predict the vapor pressure of the mixture.
Vapor Pressure of a Mixture: Raoult's Law - Example 2 Ending
Another mixture of decane and diethyl ether is used to demonstrate Raoult's Law. Students are asked to predict the vapor pressure of the mixture, and the answer is shown.
Boiling by Cooling - Demonstration
Water in a sealed flask is made to boil below its normal boiling point by cooling the water vapor in the flask.
Boiling by Cooling - Counter Example
Cooling the liquid does not cause the water to boil.
