1. Open the simulation by clicking here. Click on the box labeled “Ideal.”
2. Click on the “Width” button. This will cause a measurement to appear below the box.
3. The measurement will be used to estimate the volume of the container. Volume is measured in liters (L). Throughout the activity, use the measurement of the width of the box in nanometers (nm). However, in the data table, record the unit of measurement as liters (L). For example, if you measure the width of the box as 6.6 nm, you would record a volume of 6.6 L in the data table.
4. Click on the plus sign (+) next to “Particles”.
5. Pump approximately 1 atmosphere (atm) of pressure inside the box. (For this simulation, 1 atm is equal to 50 heavy particles.)
6. Click on the Temperature button under "Constant Parameter” at the right hand side of the screen.
7. What is the temperature inside the box?
