Neither. Volume is independent of mass. Effectively, if you increase the volume of a substance you are moving the particles that comprise that substance apart. Eventually, you would have a gas which expands to fill the volume of its container.

∙ 12y agoIf you increase the volume (how much) you have of a substance, its density will not be changed.
If the volume (of a constant mass) of substance increases because it has been heated then is density will decrease slightly.

How can pressure be increased or decreased?
Increase pressure: decrease volume, increase temperature, increase moles of substance. Decrease pressure: do the reverse
How can pressure be increased for a gaseous system?
decrease volume, increase temperature, etc.
What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?
1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume
As pressure increase what does volume do?
since PV=nRT and we assume that the number of moles and temperature remains constant, we can assume that PV=R as R the gas constant will not change, if pressure is increased, then volume must decrease to counteract the change in pressure
What it the State of a gas when its volume increases and its pressure decreases?
When Gases expand to fill a large volume the volume will increase and the pressure will decrease
How can pressure be increased or decreased?
Increase pressure: decrease volume, increase temperature, increase moles of substance. Decrease pressure: do the reverse
What happens when pressure is increased on gases?
The volume decrease and the density increase.
How can pressure be increased for a gaseous system?
decrease volume, increase temperature, etc.
At a constant temperature what is the impact to volume if the pressure is increased?
Volume & pressure are inversely proportionate, if temperature stays constant volume would decrease at a factor proporionate to the increase in pressure.
Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?
According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.
What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?
Volume decrease.
As the temperature of a fixed volume of a gas increases the pressure will?
decrease
Will increase the volume of the gas?
An increase of the temperature or a decrease of the pressure.
What happened to the pressure and temperature when you increased the volume of the gas?
Pressure and temperature will decrease
How will a pressure increase affect a gaseous system?
According to Boyle's Law of Pressure-Volume Relationship, an increase in the pressure of a gas will decrease it's volume. And according to Charles's Law of Temperature-Pressure Relationship, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature.
What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?
1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume
Under which conditions will the volume of a given sample of a gas always decrease?
The Ideal Gas Law states that PV=nRT, where P=pressure, V=volume, n=number of moles of gas, R=the relativity constant, and T=temp in Kelvin. According to this law, volume (V) varies as V=(nRT)/P. Using this, we can determine that the volume would normally increase with an increase in the number of moles and/or an increase in the temperature and/or a decrease in pressure. Therefore, we can logically determine that the volume of a gas would decrease in the instance of increasing temperature if either the number of moles of gas was decreased or the pressure was increased (to an extent where the level of volume increase by temperature change has been overcome.)
