When the temperature of a gas decreases it's?
The volume it occupies also decreases. The pressure it exerts also decreases. The rate at which it will react with other substances also decreases.
How does the gas volume vary with change in pressure?
This one is explained in Boyle's Law. It was stated that if the temperature is constant, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. Thus, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases. It is also the same as if the pressure decreases, the volume of the gas increases.
If the temperature of gas in the container decreases what happens to its pressure?
Assuming the volume is kept constant, the pressure will also decrease in this case.
How is volume and density affected when the temperature is decreased?
In general when temperature is decreased the volume decreases and the density increases. This is not true for water around freezingg temperatures, the volume increases and the density decreases and ice floats.
Why do you think more pressure on a gas causes the volume of the gas to decrease?
Increased pressure causes the gas molecules to come closer together, thus the volume also decreases.
How does pressure affect volume?
With the ideal gas law PV=nRT, if n (number of molecules, R(gas constant) and T (temperature) are fixed, then the product of P (pressure) and V (volume) is also constant. So. Pressure and Volume are inversely related. If pressure goes up, volume must go down and if pressure goes down, volume must increase. The same goes with increasing or decreasing volume.
Does a decrease in temperature results in a decrease or in crease in the volume of gas?
Temperature is directly proportional to volume i.e. as temperature increases volume of gas also increases and as it decreases, the volume also decreases
Does the volume of a gas always increase when temperature increases and pressure decreases?
Yes. When the temperature increases the molecules are more excited and move farther apart. When the pressure decreases, the molecules also have more space and will fill the void.
According to Charles s law if the temperature of a gas decreases the volume?
decreases
How are pressure volume and temperature of gases related?
The temperature, pressure, and volume of gases can be related by the ideal gas equation. PV = nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is that ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
The pressure of gas decreases with increasing temperature?
If the temperature decreases, the volume is also going to decrease, and if the pressure decreases, the volume is going to increase. So they balance each other out, if they are decreased at the same rate.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume increases?
It will increase? No it will decrease when the same amount of gas is held at constant temperature.
