What happens to the density of gas particles in a cylinder as the piston is raised?

The volume increases, therefore the density falls. Irrespective of any temperature changes.

What happens if a piston is used to decrease the volume of a contained gas?
The volume will increase as the piston moves downward. If the cylinder is sealed and the gas can not escape, the pressure in the cylinder will decrease. If the cylinder has a small opening as in a motor, the higher pressure outside will push in air that will mix with fuel to ignite when the spark plug is fired. (Supv note: it is not possible to have negative pressure. You can have zero pressure but not a deficit.)
If the volume of a cylinder-piston arrangement containing a gas is increased by a factor of eight and the temperature is doubled the pressure inside the piston will by a factor of?
Decrease, 4
What will happen to the pressure inside a cylinder with a piston when its volume is reduced while staying at a constant temperature?
The pressure will increase, proportionally to the decrease in volume. The Gas Law is PV=RT; then PdV + VdP = 0 if the Temperature stays constant.
What happens to the volume of a gas inside a piston if the temp does not change but the pressure is reduced?
To answer this question, we must consider the gas law: PV=nRT. This is an equation of state, so it defines relationships between pressure (P), volume (v), the number of moles in a system (n), the gas constant (R) and temperature (T). Because it is an equation of state, you cannot talk about transformations, only states in certain moments. What you can do, however, is solve the equation for nR, which is conserved. nR = PV/T If you hold nR constant, such as you are doing when compressing or expanding gas in a cylinder, you can say that P1V1/T1 = nR = P2V2/T2. Considering this, what would happen to P2 if you decreased P1? To balance the equation, V would have to go down. So if you decrease the pressure of a cylinder, but hold temperature constant, the volume would have to decrease as well.
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.
What is fit in pisTon and cylinder arrangement?
No fit.BECAUSE No contact between piston and cylinder.
What happens if water gets in lawn mower engine?
If the water gets into the cylinder head, it could create rust on the valves, cylinder liner(s), piston(s) and piston rings, causing the engine to "lock up".
What is a cylinder jug?
The "cylinder jug" is the cylinder. This is the area that the piston and piston rings moves up and down in when the engine is turning.
What is a Piston cylinder?
A cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating engine, the space in which a piston travels.
What is piston stroke?
a far from my knowledge one piston stroke is the distance the piston head traveled from bottom end of cylinder to top end of the cylinder
What can you replace a piston with that is not a different piston but an object that is not a piston?
The general term for piston is cylinder, and a cylinder might be made to work in this application. But a cylinder used in this manner, that is, a cylindrical shape connected in a machine that is used in the same way will almost certainly be called a piston by most investigators.
Why there is rings in piston?
The piston rings create a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
Why does a triple cylinder snowmobile always blow center piston first?
With the middle cylinder, its in between the 2 cylinders causing it to become more hot. thats generally why that happens.
What is piston diameter?
A piston is a plunger, or a plug that moves inside a cube, a cylinder. The piston diameter is the diameter of this plunger/plug. It's a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the cylinder the piston moves in.
Name the 5 general components of a hydraulic cylinder?
Cylinder. Piston. The piston. Rubber Gasket (packing). Oil Verdi.
What is a solid cylinder that slides within another cylinder?
a piston
What is cylinder ridge?
In a internal combustion engine, a cylinder ridge is an unworn area around the top of the cylinder wall. In that engine, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, and the rings seal the piston in that cylinder. But the rings are spaced "down a bit" from the top of the piston. And when the piston reaches top dead center in the cylinder, the rings haven't gone all they way to the top of the cylinder. They end up wearing the cylinder out "underneath" that top area. In other words, it's the top part of the cylinder that is not in contact with the piston rings. It's the "unworn" part, if you will.
