When a pressure on a gas increases will the volume increase or decrease?

For a fixed mass of gas, the gas will become compressed by pressure and its volume will decrease.
This is why pressurized gas containers explode when breached: the container breach eliminates the barrier between the gas compressed by the container and the outside air; the pressurized gas immediately increases the volume it occupies in the explosive decompression until its density equals the density of the regular atmosphere.

What are facts about pitch and volume?
i only know one witch is : in general, the volume of an object increases with an increase in temperature and decrease with an increase in pressure.
If the volume and number of moles of gas are held constant as the temperature increase what will the pressure do?
The volume decrease.
Why does a restriction cause a drop in pressure?
A restriction will increase pressure and decrease volume
What happens to the volume of your chest cavity when you enhale?
The volume of the chest increases due to the decrease in pressure in the lungs.
If the air inside a balloon is heated the volume will?
The volume would increase as the pressure of the expanding air increases.
What are the changes that increases pressure?
- a decrease in volume- the increase of temperature
As the temperature of a fixed volume of a gas increases the pressure will?
decrease
What it the State of a gas when its volume increases and its pressure decreases?
When Gases expand to fill a large volume the volume will increase and the pressure will decrease
Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?
According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.
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.
What will happen to pressure when gas expands and volume increases?
As the pressure increases, the volume wil decrease.
When the temperature of a gas is constant will the volume increase or decrease as the pressure decreases?
as the pressure decreases the volume of gas increases at constant temperature
What are facts about pitch and volume?
i only know one witch is : in general, the volume of an object increases with an increase in temperature and decrease with an increase in pressure.
What happens to the pressure as the volume changes?
Pressure will decrease with (because it is inversely proportianal to) volume, if (and only if!) temperature is held constant.
When the pressure and the amount of gas are constant the volume increases as temperature?
DecreasesApex (:
If volume increases then pressure will do what?
decrease
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
