This is possible because gases have the physical property of elasticity, due to the fact that there are relatively large spaces between the molecules of gases.
What else can I help you with?
Why does volume of gas get smaller when its cooled?
it will get smaller Ideal gas law PV=nRT or Charles Law V/T = k T= temperature V= volume keep everything else constant, V and T are directly proportional. This means that if V increases so will T. If V decreases, T will get smaller.
What happens to the gas volume at a given pressure?
The gas takes on the size and shape of the container it's in. So if you make the volume of the container smaller (compress it) the volume of the gas is smaller as well. However, this comes at a higher pressure exerted, so there is no spontaneous mass creation.Well, by definition, compress means "to make smaller; to press or squeeze together; or to make something occupy a smaller space or volume." Therefore, the very word "compress" implies a decrease in volume. So if you wanted to know what happens when you compress a gas, you are squeezing it into a smaller space, or decreasing the volume.If you were to let the gas maintain a constant temperature as you compress it, then pressure would increase. If you were to let the gas maintain a constant pressure, then temperature would decrease.If you were to rephrase your question to "what happens to the volume of gas if put under pressure," then the gas' volume would decrease. For the temperature to remain constant and the pressure to increase, a gas must decrease in volume to occupy a smaller area.
If you shrink a container containing gas what happens to the volume of the gas?
If you shrink the container containing gas, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are forced into a smaller space. This increase in pressure due to the reduced volume is described by Boyle's Law.
Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?
Butane gas is compressible. It can be compressed into a smaller volume at higher pressures.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
What is it called to squeeze A Gas Into A Smaller Space?
It is called compression when a gas is squeezed into a smaller space, increasing its pressure and decreasing its volume.
If a balloon is squeezed what happens to the gas inside?
When a balloon is squeezed, the volume of the balloon decreases. This causes the gas inside the balloon to be compressed, increasing the pressure of the gas.
When gas is squeezed its volume increases?
No. When you squeeze something, the volume decreases and the temperature goes up.
What happens to the air pressure inside a balloon when the balloon is squeezed to half it volume at constant temperature?
The air pressure inside the balloon will increase when it is squeezed to half its volume at constant temperature. This is because the volume of the balloon decreases, leading to the air molecules being more confined in a smaller space, resulting in higher pressure.
Why can gases be compressesd?
Gases can be compressed because their particles can be squeezed closer together into a smaller volume.
What type of fluid that can be squeezed into a smaller container?
No liquid can be made smaller, liquids have the property of a definite volume (size), this cant be changed.
When the loaf of bread is squeezed what will happen to its volume and density?
When a loaf of bread is squeezed, its volume will decrease as the air pockets within the bread compress. However, the density of the bread will increase as the mass remains the same but is now distributed in a smaller volume.
What happens when gases are forced or squeezed into smaller volumes?
All gasses, when compressed into a smaller area, result in an increase of temperature and pressure. The ideal gas formula should help. This will never be an EXACT calculation, but is quite accurate. pV=nRT p = pressure, V = volume, n = amount of gas, R = gas constant, T = temperature
What is the volume of a gas cylinder and how does it affect its storage capacity?
The volume of a gas cylinder refers to the amount of space inside the cylinder that can hold gas. A larger volume means the cylinder can store more gas, while a smaller volume means it can store less gas. The volume of a gas cylinder directly affects its storage capacity, with a larger volume allowing for more gas to be stored and a smaller volume limiting the amount of gas that can be stored.
Ability to force a gas into smaller space is called what?
It is called compressibility. The compressibility of gases can be explained by the kinetic particle theory: due to the large amount of space between the gas particles and the weak attraction forces between them, gases can easily be compressed (the particles are brought closer to each other, thus reducing the volume of the gas).
How does pressure exerted on a gas affect its volume?
The volume decreases (smaller,less)
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, particles in a gas can be compressed into a smaller volume by reducing the space between them. This will increase the pressure of the gas as the particles are forced closer together.
