it will get smaller
Ideal gas law PV=nRT
or Charles Law V/T = k
T= temperature
V= volume
keep everything else constant, V and T are directly proportional. This means that if V increases so will T. If V decreases, T will get smaller.

What is the volume of the gas before and after cooled?
The volume of a gas - at constant pressure - is proportional to the absolute temperature, that is, to the temperature expressed in Kelvin. This relationship is only approximate for real gases, but it is close enough for most practical purposes.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
What happens to the gas volume at a given pressure?
The gas takes on the size and shape of the container it's in. So if you make the volume of the container smaller (compress it) the volume of the gas is smaller as well. However, this comes at a higher pressure exerted, so there is no spontaneous mass creation.Well, by definition, compress means "to make smaller; to press or squeeze together; or to make something occupy a smaller space or volume." Therefore, the very word "compress" implies a decrease in volume. So if you wanted to know what happens when you compress a gas, you are squeezing it into a smaller space, or decreasing the volume.If you were to let the gas maintain a constant temperature as you compress it, then pressure would increase. If you were to let the gas maintain a constant pressure, then temperature would decrease.If you were to rephrase your question to "what happens to the volume of gas if put under pressure," then the gas' volume would decrease. For the temperature to remain constant and the pressure to increase, a gas must decrease in volume to occupy a smaller area.
What happens to a gas as it is cooled below 0 degrees?
this is known as liquifaction if the gas is cooled to liquid.
What is the word to reduce the volume of gas so that it can fit into a smaller container?
The word you're looking for is..... 'compress'
When a gas is cooled it?
The Ideal Gas Laws describe the relationship of temperature, pressure, and volume for a gas. These three things are all related. At lower temperatures a gas will exert lower pressure if the volume remains the same, or can exert the same pressure but in a smaller volume.
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 is the volume of a candle?
the gas volume becomes 1,000 times smaller
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?
When any gas (or gas mixture), including air, is cooled, the molecules will move slower and they will be able to be closer together. The volume needed to store a certain amount of gas will be less. If you cool it enough, it will eventually turn into a liquid.
Why does gas have no specific volume?
gas has no specific volume because the molecules can be compressed or expanded, which would change the volume. like there is a smaller volume of gas in a can of soda then in the atmesphere around you.
How does pressure exerted on a gas affect its volume?
The volume decreases (smaller,less)
Hydrogen gas was cooled from 150 degree Celcius to 50. Its new volume is 75 ml. What was it’s original volume.?
57.3ml
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.
What happens to the volume of a gas when squashed?
They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises. PV = nRT It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)
Can the volume of gas be zero if yes than how?
An ideal gas would have zero volume at zero kelvin. This is an idealization, and it won't happen with a real gas. Also, real substances can't be cooled down to zero kelvin.
Which state of matter shows the largest change in volume when warmed or cooled?
The state of matter that shows the largest change in volume when warmed or cooled is gas. Liquids and solids increase and decrease in volume in response to temperature change as well, but not to the same magnitude as gases.
Do gasses have volume?
No, nothing can have a negative volume. No such thing.
