What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What will happened if a gas held at a constant temperature has an increase in pressure applied to it?
boyle's law holds good in this case and the gas experiences decrease in volume....provided the gas is not in a container with fixed dimensions! its volume will decrease
Does the temperature of a gas decrease when the volume increases?
Yes, if the gas is not in a closed container it will expand when the temperature is increased. If it is in a closed container, it cannot expand, so the pressure inside the container will increase.
How can you decrease pressure of a gas in its container without changing the volume of gas?
lots of ways 1. cool it down 2. give it more space 3. remove some gas
In a rigid container as the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure of the gas will decrease true or false?
False
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in a closed container?
A loss of gas, or a decrease in temperature.
If the temperature of gas in the container decreases what happens to its pressure?
Assuming the volume is kept constant, the pressure will also decrease in this case.
What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What will happen if a gas held at a constant temperature has an increased in temperature applied to it?
boyle's law holds good in this case and the gas experiences decrease in volume....provided the gas is not in a container with fixed dimensions! its volume will decrease
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What will cause a a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Either decrease the amount of gas, or decrease the temperature.
When the temperature of of gas increases at constant pressure its?
As pressure increases, if temperature is constant, the gas will decrease in volume.
What will happened if a gas held at a constant temperature has an increase in pressure applied to it?
boyle's law holds good in this case and the gas experiences decrease in volume....provided the gas is not in a container with fixed dimensions! its volume will decrease
When the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure it's?
As pressure increases, if temperature is constant, the gas will decrease in volume.
When the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?
At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.
If the temperature remains constant what will happen to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the volume of the container that holds the gas Explain?
The pressure of the gas would rise. Explain? OK, Blow up a balloon and tie the end. Decrease volume of the container (step on balloon). Balloon explodes (Pressure rose)
Does the temperature of a gas decrease when the volume increases?
Yes, if the gas is not in a closed container it will expand when the temperature is increased. If it is in a closed container, it cannot expand, so the pressure inside the container will increase.
