Does gasoline expand in gas stations on a hot day?
Gasoline is stored in tanks underground. The outside temperature has no effect on the temperature of the fuel stored underground.
What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?
The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
How do you basically cool gas molecules?
First you compress the gas, upon which its temperature will rise. Allow it to radiate off the excess heat - the heat caused by the compression. Now allow it to expand again. It will now be colder than when you started. This is the principle upon which refrigerators work.
What is the effect of varying the temperature on the volume of a constant mass of a gas at a constant pressure?
the relation is given by charles law which says that the volume of a constant mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature so increase in temperature causes an increASE in the volume
When gas allowed to expand what will be its effect on its temperature?
When gas expands, its temperature typically decreases if the process occurs without the addition of heat (an adiabatic process). This is because the gas does work on its surroundings as it expands, which requires energy, leading to a reduction in the internal energy and, consequently, a drop in temperature. However, if heat is added during the expansion, the temperature may remain constant or even increase.
When a gas expands to a region of low pressure what happen to its temperature?
The temperature drops. When a real (non ideal) gas expands ( in such a way that it does not take in heat from the environment- so called adiabatic) for example when hot air rises into a low pressure region the gas will cools. Real gases when they expand freely cool, this is the basis of the refrigerator (Joule Thomson effect). The explanation is that the separation of gas molecules involves "work" done against intermolecular forces which leads to a reductio in the kinetic of the molecules, hence the observed temperature.
Do gas expand on heating?
Yes, gases generally expand when heated because the increase in temperature causes the gas molecules to move faster and spread out, increasing the volume they occupy. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is constant.
Is a gas absorbing heat or releasing heat?
A gas can either absorb or release heat depending on the situation. When a gas absorbs heat, it can increase in temperature and expand. When a gas releases heat, it can decrease in temperature and contract.
How does altitude effect natural gas?
The higher the altitude, the lower the pressure of the natural gas, and the more it will expand in volume. It will expand in direct proportion to how much the pressure goes down, and vice versa.
What causes a sealed bag of vegetables to expand when it is heated in a microwave?
the temperature of gas changes (APEX) :)
What cause a sealed bag of vegetables to expand when it is heated in a microwave oven?
The temperature of the gas changes.
