Pressure is usually inversly proportional to volume, but proportional to temperature. All other things being equal, higher temperatures result in higher pressure, wheras higher volumes result in lower pressure.

∙ 13y agoSee Boyles law under gas laws. Gas particles exert pressure because they collide with one another. Air contains multiple gases, each exerts it 's own pressure as it collides with another within a given space. Gravity holds air close to the earth. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. If the space or container containg gas decreases then gases bounces againt each other and the container more frequently, causing the pressure guage to show an increase in pressure. Volume and pressure, therefore are inversely related, one goes up, the others goes down. Liquids would behave the same way.

∙ 11y agoPressure is inversely related to volume. This is a physics question that involves some seemingly complicated concepts. Boyle's Law says that the volume of a mass of gas is inversely proportionate to its pressure.

∙ 12y agoNo. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. Pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Ergo, a gas under high pressure will take up less space than a gas under low pressure.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThis is explained by the ideal gas law. PV=nRT. Rearrange this and you get P=(nRT)/V. If you keep n and T constant (R is a constant already), P is proportional to 1/V

Do gas pressure and volume vary directly or inversely?
direct proportionality because then the pressure of the gas is constant. Gay Lussac's law clearly states that the volume of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, provided that the pressure remains constant.
How are pressure volume and temperature of gases related?
The temperature, pressure, and volume of gases can be related by the ideal gas equation. PV = nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is that ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Boyles law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if?
Boyle's law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature remains constant.
When the pressure on a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
decreases
Is the volume of a gas directly proportional to the pressure?
The temperature
What happens to the pressure as the volume changes?
Pressure will decrease with (because it is inversely proportianal to) volume, if (and only if!) temperature is held constant.
Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?
The following variables are directly proportional: Temperature and Pressure Temperature and Volume These variables are inversely proportional: Pressure and Volume
How the volume of a gas will change if the pressure on it is made less?
For a gas, pressure and volume are inversely related. If pressure decreases, volume will increase.
How are gas volume and gas pressure related?
PV=RT, Pressure and Volume are inversely related, P=K/T.
Is the volume of a gas directly or inversely proportional to the number of particles in a gas?
Directly proportional, at pressure and temperature constant.
How are pressure and volume related to each other in Boyle's law?
They are inversely proportional.
What describes how pressure affects volume?
Ideal gas law. At a fixed temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely related. PV=mRT
What does inversely and directly proportional mean?
Inversely proportional means that one variable goes up while the other goes down. Directly proportional means that both variables increase or decrease at the same time. ex: The volume of a gas at constant pressure is inversely proportional to gas pressure, thus this means that as pressure increases, the volume of the gas will decrease. ex: The volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to absolute pressure, thus this means that when you heat a gas the volume also increases.
What can change the volume of a gas?
Change the pressure or change the temperature. Volume changes inversely with pressure and directly with temperature. That is to say, if you squeeze it, it gets smaller. If you heat it, it gets bigger.
Do gas pressure and volume vary directly or inversely?
direct proportionality because then the pressure of the gas is constant. Gay Lussac's law clearly states that the volume of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, provided that the pressure remains constant.
Does gas retain it's volume at varying temps and pressures?
It can but, not necessarily so. At a constant volume the temperature and pressure rise in direct proportion. At a constant temperature the volume is inversely proportionate to the pressure. At a constant pressure the volume is directly proportionate to the temperature.
What is the V T P relationship in chemistry?
PV /T = nR where n is the number of moles of gas and R is the ideal gas constant. if the amount of gas is constant, pressure and volume are inversely related (because they are multiplied) and that product is directly related to the kelvin temperature. Remove any one and the same analysis is true. Ex: if temperature is constant, remove it from the problem and you still PV, a product so pressure and volume are inversely related.
