If you don't change the amount of gas, but you just stuff it

into a smaller container, then the density must increase.

Remember the definition of density:

Density = mass/volume .

Since the volume in the smaller container is less, the value of

that fraction must be greater ==> greater density.

The pressure of a gas is given by the formula P=nRT/V where R is a constant, T is the temperature (which we assume remains unchanged in this case) and V is the volume of the container. n is the number of particles. By adding more gas, the number of n will increase, and so will P, the pressure. Similarly, removing gas will decrease the pressure.

How does density affect the position of different liquids in a container?

after you let several liquids (each with a different density) sit in a container for a while, the greater the density, the farther down the liquid is in a container


How does heating air affect its density and presure?

Hot air is less dense than cold air. Heating a sealed, rigid container of air will increase the pressure of the air in the container.


Does flattening a block affect mass volume and density?

It will not affect mass because the mass of an object stays the same (unless you take away or add mass). It will affect volume and density. Since the object is being flattened so it takes up less space, its volume is smaller. But since it is the same amount of matter just in a smaller space, the density is greater. Basically, volume and density are inversely related (in respect to mass). With mass staying the same, as the volume decreases, the density increases.


What affect liquid density?

Pressure and Temperature will affect volume and thus also density. However the effect is much smaller than on gases (about 100-1000 times), it is mostly a bit bigger than the effect on solids.

Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


Does the amount of space affect its density?

volume does affect the density because the formula of density= mass/ volume


Does alcohol affect buoyancy?

Of course it does. Alcohol has a density of around 0.8 g/ml while water is pratically 1. Using old Archimedes the force from buoyance is equal to the weight of the liquid that is "moved"by the object being floated - so smaller density, smaller force.


How does heat affect size?

;) basically the bigger a container the more heat is lost since the particles can escape more quickly so it turns colder but a smaller container has a smaller top so the particles bump into eachother and come out less quickly. ;) source:my awesome knowledge...u can thank meh ltr


What change will not affect the pressure in a container?

The volume of the container is increased.
