What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume of its container was increased?

Assuming you haven't put any more gas in the container, the pressure will go down. Usually, the reason the volume of the container gets larger is that you put more gas in the container and the gas pressure in the container seeks to equalize with the pressure outside it.

By increasing the number of particles in a specific amount of gas, there are more particles colliding onto the container. This causes the force per unit exerted by the gas on the container to increase.
As such, when one increases the number of particles within a container of gas, the pressure within the container will increase.

How does the pressure of a container change as the volume is changed?
In a small volume container the pressure is higher.
In a closed containerwhat effects does pressure have on a gas volume and density?
The gas pressure in a closed container increases with volume and increased temperature. Likewise, the pressure will decrease with decreased temperature.
What happens to to the volume of a container when a rock is added?
Placing a rock in a container does not alter the volume of the container, although it does occupy some of that volume.
What happens when two gases that do not react with each other are placed in the same container?
The volume of the container becomes the volume of the gas. The molecules in gases are in constant motion with direction, this causes the initial volume to expand to the volume of the container since the molecules eventually disperse to every region of the container.
Do Gases have a definite shape and volume true or false?
False. Gases in a container take the shape of the container. The volume of a gas increases with temperature and inversely with pressure, except when in a closed container where volume remains the same as the volume of the container and the temperature and pressure will vary.
What change will not affect the pressure in a container?
The volume of the container is increased.
What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?
Volume decrease.
What happens to the pressure if the temperature is increased?
The pressure will increase if the volume remains the same.
Which of the changes would not cause an increase in the pressure of a contained gas?
The volume of the container is increased.
What happens to the intrapulmonary pressure when intrapulmonary volume increases?
Pressure increases as volume increases, granted the container stays the same.
When gas in a container expand to twice its volume at constant temperature the gas pressure does what?
The pressure increases. Hopefully, the container is strong enough to withstand the increased pressure. If there is a weakness in the container, gas will escape as a leak.
What happens when pressure is increased on gases?
The volume decrease and the density increase.
If the temperature of that gas that is in t he container is decreased what happens to its pressure?
If the volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.
How does the pressure of a container change as the volume is changed?
In a small volume container the pressure is higher.
If material is heated and expands the density of the material will?
This relies on 3 things. The Pressure, volume and temperature of a Gas is all related. If the pressure is kept the same and temperature increased. The Volume (of the container) must be increased. If the Volume (of the container) is kept constant and temperature is increased the Pressure will increase. A rough idea of what will happen can be worked out by, pV=cT Where p is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, c is a constant, T is the temperature.
What happens to pressure on the molecule level when the number of moles of gas is increased at constant volumeWhat happens to the number of collisions with the side of the container?
Pressure in a constant volume (container) is directly proportinal to the number of moles and to the absolute temperature (in K)p :=: n * T with ':=:' meaning 'proportianal to' (not: equal to!)The number of collision is related to and determined by the pressure-value only! (pressure is the result ofcollisions only)
If the number of particles of gas is increased in a container does the gas pressure rise?
Volume = Mass/Density. In a larger container the mass of the gas remains unchanged, the density decreases so the volume increases.
