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.

You can reduce the pressure of a gas by any of the following:* Reducing the amount of gas (letting some gas escape)

* Reducing the temperature

* Increasing the volume

How water turns into vapor at normal temp?

A large DECREASE in the surface pressure will result in water turning to water vapor at room temperature.


What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a contianer ifthe temperature of the gas decreases?

from the gas laws and Charles 2nd law, it can be concluded that pressure is directly proportional to temperature..hence if the temp decreases; pressure also decreases as the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases; the collisions decrease hence pressure of the molecules inside the container decrease.

Will the temp of soda drop when opened?

Yes, since when you open the bottle/can, the pressure decreases leading to a decrease in temperaure (albeit very slight). pV=nRT V,n and R remain constant so if the pressure is decreased, the temperature must also decrease.


What 3 factors affect the density of sea water?

Is ammonia a liquid?

Ammonia is a liquid at any temp,as long as it is in an contained vessel.The only change in ammonia, in a contained vessel ,is the internal pressure,due to the pressure-tempature relationship.Anhydrous ammonia is a 99.95% pure liquid for Refridgeration grade.Ammonium Hydroxide is cleaning solution grade,with ammonia only being 10-30% by volume.Out of a contained vessel,ammonia boils at -28 degrees and rapidly evaporates.


Does temperature have an effect on air pressure?

actually it does. The lower the temp. the lower the air pressure so high temp cause high pressure.


How do atmospheric pressure zones and ocean currents affect earth's energy balance?

Warm temp create area of low atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface while area of high pressure r generated when temp r relatively cold. Once established, the thermal gradient then develops a flow of air that goes from high 2 low pressure


How does temp affect a magnets attraction?

yes temp does affect the strength of magnets. The cooler the magnet the stronger it gets.
