What happens to pressure of constant mass of a gas at constant temperature when the volume is doubled?

Pressure is halved when ONLY volume is doubled (n and T are constant).
Remember the General Gas Law:
p.V = n.R.T(in which R=general gas constant)

∙ 8y agoIf you double the pressure of a sample of gas at a constant temperature, the volume is halved.
PV=nRT, where P=pressure, V=volume, n=number of moles, R=rate constant, and T=temp in Kelvin
If the temp stays the same then nRt is the same for both pressures and volumes.
Therefore P1 x V1 = P2 x V2.
For example, let's say the initial pressure (P1) is 1 ATM and the initial volume (V1) is 1 liter. Then the final pressure (P2) would be 2 ATM and the final volume (V2) would be 0.5 liters.

∙ 8y agoIf you double the pressure you halve the volume, so the ration is 1/2
For the same amount (and temperature) double the pressure means half the volume.

What happens to pressure when the temperature and volume is halved?
if kelvin temp is halved, the volume is halved if pressure is constant.
What happens to the temperature increase the number of particles what happens to the pressure?
Increasing the temperature the number of particles remain constant and the pressure increase.
What happens to the volume of a gas when the number of moles is doubled (all else held constant)?
At a constant volume the pressure increase.
What happens to a gas temperature at a given pressure?
In a closed system with constant pressure and no input or output of heat, the gas temperature will remain constant. In that same system, if the pressure is increased, then the gas temperature will also increase. If pressure is decreased, then the gas temperature will decrease.
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.
What happens to pressure when the temperature and volume is halved?
if kelvin temp is halved, the volume is halved if pressure is constant.
What happens to the pressure of gas when the volume is doubled and no change in Kelvin temperature?
The pressure is decreased to 50 %.
What happens to the pressure if the temperature in K is doubled?
The initial pressure is halved. Use Boyle's law that relates pressure & volume at a constant temperature. P1V1 = P2V2 In this case the V1(initial volume) is doubled so V2 = 2V1 P2 = P1V1/V2 = P1V1/2V1 P2 = (1/2)*P1
At constant temperature if the volume of a gas decreses what happens to the pressure?
At constant temperature if the volume of a gas decreses what should I do now
What happens to the temperature increase the number of particles what happens to the pressure?
Increasing the temperature the number of particles remain constant and the pressure increase.
If volume is held constant and pressure is tripled what happens to temperature?
Temperature will be increase
What happens to the volume of a gas when the number of moles is doubled (all else held constant)?
At a constant volume the pressure increase.
What happens to volume when temperature of gas is decresd at constant pressure?
If the temperature of the gas is decreasing, then in order to maintain constant pressure, you would have to compress it in volume.
If the temperature of a gas is decreased at a constant pressure what happens to its volume?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
What happens for a gas at a constant volume?
When the Temperature increases, so does the Pressure.
What happens to a gas temperature at a given pressure?
In a closed system with constant pressure and no input or output of heat, the gas temperature will remain constant. In that same system, if the pressure is increased, then the gas temperature will also increase. If pressure is decreased, then the gas temperature will decrease.
What happens to its volume when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure?
The volume increases.
