Ideal gas law: "PV = nRT"
rearranged: "P = (nR/V) * T"
therefore: "P is proportional to T if n,R,V are constant"

P = pressure
V = volume
n = amount of gas substance
R = gas constant
T = absolute temperature (in kelvin)

It is possible to say that if the temperature decrease by a certain percentage, the pressure would also decrease by the same percentage, because the two quantities are proportional. However, to know the absolute decrease in pressure due to an absolute decrease in temperature (ΔP = -?, given ΔT = -1°C), you would need to know more information, such as the initial values of P and T.

The decrease in the pressure of a certain gas in a rigid vessel depends on the type of gas inside the vessel. The ideal gas law can help in computing these values.

The pressure decreases to the original pressure multiplied by the factor:

(the original Celsius temperature + 272.15) / (the original Celsius temperature + 273.15)

Why the pressure does not change when the volume decrease for boyle law?

There is either a leak in the vessel, or the temperature is changing. Or both.


Can you autoclave 1M HCl solution?

No. Vapor pressure is too high. Used a closed microwave vessel system with temperature and pressure control. A 1500 psi vessel is needed.


Why does temperature affect the air pressure?

Air temperature and air pressure are inversely proportional. As temperature increases, air pressure decreases. This is best demonstrated in an enclosed vessel.

When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?

Resistance changes dramatically with changes in diameter of blood vessels (arterioles are one type of blood vessel). If you INCREASE the diameter of the arteriole, you DECREASE the resistance and thus DECREASE the blood pressure.


How does blood pressure decrease in a vessel as distance from the left ventricle increase?

Pushing water through a hose, the pressure at either end is equal. This is not true with blood pressure. The blood pressure in the body changes based on distance from the left ventricle due to slowdown caused by curves, friction and variation of vessel size.

What is the difference between steam boiler and pressure vessel?

Boiler is basically a pressure vessel in which this boiler aims to heat the surroundings which is a pressure vessel.


Can flying in an airplane rupture a brain cyst?

Yes, because the pressure as you are taking off and landing are quite intense. The blood vessel is already under lots of pressure and if that were to suddenly increase or decrease (in which case the vessel would burst during expansion) the cyst would rupture.


What are deaerators?

Deaerator is Device or vessel where dissolved gases removed from the water by using steam (pressure corresponding to saturation temperature)


A closed rigid pressure vessel contains 0.1 cum of liquid water and 99.9 cum of dry saturated steam at a pressure of 200 KP The vessel is heated until the pressure is 500 KP Find the final temperature?

divide it by the future number which is 0.99 which will equal 0.00000001


If water is contained in a closed vessel having an absolute pressure of 0.15 psia such as in the evaporator area of the absorption generator the water will boil at what temperature?
