What happens to temperature and number particles as the volume increases?

Although it isn't always accurate - especially at high pressures - the ideal gas law is a good, simple way of looking at the general relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and total number of particles in a gas.
According to the Ideal Gas Law:
PV = nRT
where
P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of particles, R is the ideal gas constant , and T is absolute temperature.
If the system is closed, then by definition the number of particles remains the same even if volume changes. If the system is NOT closed, then the question is not sufficiently constrained to predict what will happen to the number of particles.
Assuming a closed system, if the volume increases then either the pressure must decrease or the temperature increase (or both).
If pressure is held constant, the temperature must increase to keep the pressure stable.
If the pressure is allowed to fall, the temperature may actually remain the same.
If the process is adiabatic, both the pressure and the temperature will decrease (for most gases - hydrogen and helium have a range where they actually heat up as they expand)

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 molecules as their kinetic energy increases?
They move faster, number of collision increases,also the temperature increases.
According to kinetic and collision theory why does increasing the temperature of the reaction increase the rate of reaction?
The likelihood that two particles will collide in a given time increases. The number of particles per volume increases.
The rate of condensation depends on what?
As the number of gaseous particles increase, the rate of condensation increases because more and more gaseous particles are coming into contact with the liquid surface.
When the temperature of a gas gets higher what does its pressure do?
Increase. As the temperature increases, the particles hit the walls of the container more often and with more force. This causes the pressure to increase, since the definition of pressure is the number and force of collisions the particles have with the walls of its container.
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 molecules as their kinetic energy increases?
They move faster, number of collision increases,also the temperature increases.
What happens to the number of free electrons and holes in an intrinsic semiconductor when the temperature decreases?
increases
What effect does raising the temperature of a gas have on its pressure if the volume of the gas and the number of particles are kept constant?
As per Charles' law pressure increases as temperature increases provided volume is kept constant
According to kinetic and collision theory why does increasing the temperature of the reaction increase the rate of reaction?
The likelihood that two particles will collide in a given time increases. The number of particles per volume increases.
How does increasing temperature increase the number of reactions?
It increases the collisions that have enough energy to react (apex)
The rate of condensation depends on what?
As the number of gaseous particles increase, the rate of condensation increases because more and more gaseous particles are coming into contact with the liquid surface.
What are two factors that determine an object's thermal energy?
An objects temperature and the number of particles
When the temperature of a gas gets higher what does its pressure do?
Increase. As the temperature increases, the particles hit the walls of the container more often and with more force. This causes the pressure to increase, since the definition of pressure is the number and force of collisions the particles have with the walls of its container.
If you wanted to predict how temperature will effect the volume of a gas what factors must be held constant?
If temperature increases, then pressure increases. Temperature measures the average speed of particles, so if the temperature is high, then the particles are moving quickly and are colliding with other particles more forcefully. Pressure is defined as the force and number of collisions the particles have with the wall of its container. So if the high temperature causes the particles to move quickly, they are going to collide more often with the container, increasing the pressure. This remains true as long as the number of moles (n) remains constant.
What happens to the number of data entities when you normalize?
It increases It increases
If the number of sellers in a market increases what happens?
supply increases
