Capstone: From Manometer Reading to Real-Gas Correction
The idea
This capstone carries one gas sample from a raw manometer reading through the ideal gas law to a van der Waals correction, showing that pressure measurement, the ideal gas law, molar mass determination, and real-gas behavior are one connected chain, not four separate topics.
Where people slip
Treating pressure measurement, the ideal gas law, molar mass determination, and the van der Waals correction as four unrelated procedures, rather than four stages of reasoning about the same trapped sample, is exactly the fragmented reading this capstone is built to correct.
