        4.2.2    Give a reason why real gases deviate from ideal gas behaviour at
                 high pressure.                                                                 (2)

        relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume.

        A certain gas is trapped inside the Jolly bulb. At temperature 25 °C the gas
        exerts a pressure of 101 kPa. The water-bath is then heated to a
        temperature of 60 °C.

        4.3.1    Write down the name of the law which is studied using the above
                 apparatus.                                                                     (1)
