lyrics
Robert Boyle packing clothes.
Suitcase bulging at the seams.
An attempt to make it close:
Apply the pressure liberally.
And it seems the idea transferred,
Raise the pressure, drop the volume.
But the ideal is unanswered,
Maybe somewhere it is out there.
Guillaume Amontons,
Boiling water in a pot.
Heavy lid popping up,
Water vapor getting hot.
And it seems the idea transferred,
Hotter gas has higher pressure!
But the ideal is unanswered,
Maybe someone else will get there?
Jacques Charles out in the cold!
Snowpants! He is shivering.
Red balloon on a string,
Gradually is shriveling.
And it seems the idea transferred,
Colder gas has lower volume!
But the ideal still unanswered,
Must be someone else’s problem.
So temperature is related to:
The pressure and the volume,
Also it seems the amount of moles
To count the gas’s molecules.
That occupy the entire space,
From which the gas cannot escape.
Related all by a constant R.
Are you sure? It’s 8.314…
Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Lacquisha Carlo
Avogadro di Quaregna e di Cerreto traded Moles.
And I guess the idea transferred,
Equal moles have equal volume.
But the ideal is unanswered,
Will it stay an unsolved problem.
Monsoir Clapeyron comes on the scene!
Uniting laws with gassy themes:
It’s on the wall
you hear him scream!
P times V is n R T
It’s P for pressure, V for vol.
n the number of the mol.
T’s temperature and it’s in Degrees,
Kelvin says he agrees - he agrees
R you sure it's eight point three...
One four.
