How does the volume of an ideal gas at constant temperature and pressure change as the number of molecules increases?
As you decrease the volume, the pressure will increase proportionally, and if you increase the volume, then the pressure will decrease.
How does temperature effect the pressure of a gas?
If the volume of the container is not fixed, increasing the temperature will cause a gas to expand (increase the volume), and contract when cooled (decreasing the volume). This would be the case for a gas inside a piston, or inside a rubber balloon. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the temperature will increase the pressure, and decreasing the temperature will decrease the pressure. This would be the case for a gas in a closed solid container, like a canister or sealed metal box. Increasing pressure will cause the gas to contract (reducing the volume), and decreasing the pressure will cause the gas to expand (increasing the volume). Again, this is if the volume is not fixed. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the pressure will increase the temperature, and decreasing the pressure will decrease the temperature. These concepts are all determined by something called the Ideal Gas Law. To find out more about how this works, see the Related Questions links below this answer. Gases can also be changed to a liquid or solid if the temperature is too low or the pressure is too high. As an example steam changes to a liquid when it touches a cold object, and nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid nitrogen by compressing it to very high pressures.
When the pressure on a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
decreases
What happens to temperature if pressure goes down and volume stays the same?
Yes. Since pressure and volume are inversely related, volume decreases when pressure increases (as long as temperature is constant). Consider the equation: PV=nRT, where n = moles, T is in degrees Kelvin, and R is the gas constant 0.082. Do the algebra and see how: P=nRT/V and the inverses become more easily understood.
You have 3 L of gas at a certain temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the gas be if the temperature doubled and the pressure stayed the same?
Charles Law (also known as the law of volumes) describes how gases tend to expand or contract with temperature changes.If the temperature changes and the gas molecules and pressure remains the same then the volume will increase or decrease at the same rate that the temperature changes.Since the temperature doubled the volume will double to 6L.
What As a temperature of a fixed volume of a gas increases the pressure will?
Pressure will be decreased
How does the volume of an ideal gas at constant temperature and pressure change as the number of molecules increases?
As you decrease the volume, the pressure will increase proportionally, and if you increase the volume, then the pressure will decrease.
If a fixed sample of a gas increases in temperature at a constant pressure its volume does what?
Increases in direct proportion to the increase in temperature (on an absolute scale).
If a fixed sample of gas increases in temperature it must also do what?
If a fixed volume of gas increases in temperature, it must increase in volume. If the gas is in a closed system, the pressure inside that system increases instead. When the gas increases in volume, it also decreases in pressure, often rising above colder, more dense gas if possible.
When a fixed sample of gas increases in volume what happens to the pressure and temperature?
The frequency of collisions is reduced

What happens to an enclosed gas if the temperature is increased?
For an enclosed gas (contained in a fixed volume), the pressure increases as temperature increases.Another way to picture this is that at higher temperatures, the gas molecules colliding with the walls of the container are more energetic, so the force exerted (pressure) is greater.
When a fixed sample of gas increases in volume?
Decrease its pressure.
When the pressure on a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
decreases
Do solids have no fixed volume or shape?
Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
Does oxygen has fixed volume?
no, no gas does, it depends on temperature and pressure.
It has a definite volume but has no definite shape what is the answer?
A fixed quantity of liquid at a fixed temperature and pressure.
