What else can I help you with?
What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?
If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.
What will happen to those balloons if you take them outside on a cold day?
When you cool a gas at a constant presure, the volume of the gas decreases. Therefore, the balloons will slightly shrink.
What will happen if you raise the temperature of a gas in a fixed volume container?
The pressure of the gas increase.
What happen to air when cool?
The molecules in it slow down and the total volume decreases.
What will happen to the volume of gas in a tank if its temperature increased?
If the volume of the tank was effectivelly constant, and the tank was sealed to prevent gas escaping, the pressure of the gas would increase.
What will happen to gas as it's pressure decreases?
Typically expand and/or cool.
What happens to temperature if pressure goes down and volume stays the same?
Yes. Since pressure and volume are inversely related, volume decreases when pressure increases (as long as temperature is constant). Consider the equation: PV=nRT, where n = moles, T is in degrees Kelvin, and R is the gas constant 0.082. Do the algebra and see how: P=nRT/V and the inverses become more easily understood.
Would it be possible to cool a real gas down to zero volume?
No, it is not possible to cool a real gas down to zero volume due to the effects of quantum mechanics. As a gas is compressed and its volume decreases, the pressure and temperature would increase. Eventually, at a certain point known as the absolute zero of temperature, the gas would turn into a liquid or solid, rather than occupying zero volume.
Can a physical change make something smaller?
Yes, if you cool a gas, its volume decreases.
What would happen to the volume of a gas in a closed system if pressure increased?
If the pressure of a gas in a closed system increases, the volume of the gas would decrease, following Boyle's Law. This is because there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume when temperature is constant.
What will happen to the volume of the gas if the temperature is doubled?
Assuming all other variables are kept the same, the volume would double.
What would happen if the volume of gas decreased and then increased?
The temp of the gas would first rise, then drop. If the final volume of the gas is lower than the volume at the start, the temp will be higher than at the start. If the final volume is greater than at the start, then the temp of the gas will be lower than at the start.
