If volume is held constant and pressure is tripled what happens to temperature?

Temperature will be increase


When the temperature of a gas decreases at constant volume its pressure increases?

pressure. simple answer is pressure. what happens is that as the gas gets hotter they move move and want more volume, if you don't allow them that volume the pressure goes up. when you get a gas colder, the opposite happens and makes the pressure go down.


What usually happens in general for a gas at a constant volume?

The gas volume become constant when the pressure is increased to a point that makes the distance between the gas molecules equal to zero at this point no more increase of temperature with pressure is observed. Or if the pressure and temperature are kept constant within a system then the volume can also be constant as long as you are able to maintain the pressure and temperature at constant level.


What happens to the pressure of a system when the volume is decreased if the temperature and number of gas particles are held constant according to Boyles Law?

When pressure double, the volume halves. However this is only true if the number of molecules and the temperature are both in a constant state.


What happens to kinetic energy of gas particles as temperature decreases at a constant pressure?

kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature is a postulate in kinetic molecular theory of matter.if the pressure is kept constant when temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases resulting in decrease in the volume of the gas. Charle's Law state's that For a given mass of dry gas at constant pressure ,volume is directionally proportional to temperature ie V~T

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 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 pressure when the temperature and volume is halved?

if kelvin temp is halved, the volume is halved if pressure is constant.


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.
