What effect does a decrease in volume have on the number of gas molecules?

Three variables that effect volume (V) of gas are pressure (P), temperature (T), and how many moles (n) of gas are present in a system. Decreasing any of these variables correspond to gas volume reductions. These can be related by the Ideal Gas Law equation of PV = nRT. R is the Ideal Gas constant of .0821 Liters/ATM*moles*Kelvin.

How in terms of collision theory how a decrease in concentration can change the rate of a precipitation reaction?
Decrease in conc. means decrease in no. of molecules per unit volume. Since, molecules or atoms will less in number, the no. of colliding particles will be less. This will lead to decreased precipitation
What happens to the mean free path of the molecules in this process if a helium filled balloon initially at room temperature is placed in a freezer will its volume increase decrease or remain the same?
The volume decrease.
Why the volume of the air molecules inside of the syringe changes?
This is the effect of the pressure.
The number of molecules in a given amount of volume is called what?
Density
How many acetone molecules are in a bottle of acetone with a volume of 330 ml?
The number of acetone molecules is 24,843.10e23.
Can the removing of energy increase the volume of a substance because the molecules come closer together?
No. It can increase the volume in some cases, but not BECAUSE the molecules come closer together. If the molecules come closer together, the volume will DECREASE.

How bronchial asthma effect on lung volume and capacity increase or decrease and why?

Why does the volume of a gas decrease when pressure increases?
As pressure increases, the molecules of the gas are compressed, reducing the amount of space between molecules, which results in a decreased volume.

The volume decrease.

Effect of clearance volume on volumetric effeciency?
On increasing clearance ratio volumetric effi will decrease bc the intake air will expand at high initial volume, while the cylinder size and stroke are fixed,thus effective swept volume will decrease as a result efffi decrease
When a gas is compressed in a cylinder what does the distance between the gas molecules do?
The compression will result in a lowering in the average distance between molecules of the gas. Imagine that the cylinder is like that in an internal combustion engine, with a piston inside the cylinder. The compression is accomplished by pressing the gas into a reduced volume. The number of gas molecules remains the same. With the same number of molecules in a reduced volume, the gas molecules are pressed more closely together, lowering the average distance between the gas molecules.
Why does the density of liquid increase as it cools?
As something cools down, the kinetic energy of its molecules decrease. This corresponds to a decrease in volume occupied of the substance, so the density decreases.
If the volume and number of moles of gas are held constant as the temperature increase what will the pressure do?
The volume decrease.
Will decreasing the number of gas molecules increase the volume of a gas?
No, it will not.
