It means that if the gas is allowed to expand into a larger volume, the pressure - inside the container that contains the gas - will be less.

What happens to mean airway pressure if compliance is decreased?

If compliance decreases, the mean airway pressure typically increases for a given tidal volume. This is because the lungs become stiffer, requiring greater pressure to achieve the same volume of air during inhalation. Consequently, the increased pressure can lead to higher mean airway pressures in mechanically ventilated patients.


What happens as the depth increases in the ocean?

the pressure increases i forgot why but that's what i know


What happens to the air pressure in your chest cavity when you diaphragm relaxes?

OK, do you mean when the airway is open? If open, a slight decrease in pressure momentarily. If closed, a larger decrease in pressure.


What do you mean by weather change?

atmospheric pressure increases atmospheric pressure decreases wind velocity increases wind velocity decreases rain begins to fall rain stops snowfall or other precipitation begins precipitation ends cold front comes in warm front comes in


How come Bernoullis principle say that as pressure decreases velocity increases when we know that as area increases pressure decreases we also know that as area decreases velocity increase?

By area do you mean cross sectional area of a stream tube? Bernoulli's principle only compares pressure and velocity and it covers all fluids. In the case of an ideal gas (constant density) decreasing the cross sectional area of a stream tube lets say; will not affect the pressure. But given any fluid volume..going from point a to point b if velocity decreases, particles in the fluid want to move outward. just remember any fluid must do two things move and apply pressure.


Is atmospheric pressure larger with a bigger area?

The greater the area, the lower the pressure. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure. I am assuming by area you mean volume. According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, pressure and volume are inversely related. As the volume increases, the pressure will decrease and vice versa.


Can gases turn into liquids?

It depends what you mean. A gas turn into a liquid if heat is taken away, pressure is applied, or the volume of the container the gas is decreases.


If the amount and temperature of a gas are kept constant the pressure and volume of the gas are what?

When you say "amount", I'll assume you mean the 'mass' of the sample.The pressure and volume will be inversely proportional. That means that whateveryou do to one of them, the other one will change in just the right way so that theirproduct is always the same number.
