When temperature increases does mass increase?
No. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Pressure does not affect the amount of matter.Uless you have anhydrous ammonia and have a contained vessel at 32psi,that drops to 0 psi suddenly.Then you will have an in crease in volume but still have the same amount of matter.
Do the pressure of a gas decreases with increasing temperature?
If the temperature remains constant, decreasing the volume will increase the pressure.
A measure of the amount of matter that an object contains?
The measure of the amount of matter an object contains is mass.
What is the measure of how much matter is given space?
mass
What is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains?
That is it's mass.
Why does the exosphere have the least amount of pressure?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. Matter is held by gravity. The same reason that pressure is greatest in the core, the least pressure is farthest from the core. Matter "thins - out". The heaviest elements are always in the center and the lightest are furthest from the center.

What is the state of matter of mercury in liquid?
berometers measure atmospheric pressure.
A measure of the space that matter occupies?
That is called the volume.
What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?
The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.
What happens when pressure decreases?
Air pressure decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. Air, just like any form of matter has mass, and when affected by earth's gravity, weight. The weight of air is pushing down on you with a force of 1 atmosphere at sea level. As you increase elevation the air pressure is reduced because there is less air to push down on you. Just like air, water pressure increases as you increase your depth in it, or any fluid. When air pressure decreases, temperature drops.
What happens as gravity increases to the pressure on the matter within a star?
As gravity increases so the pressure within the star increases, the matter becomes more dense and hotter, more matter is fused. The star decreases in volume initially. The thermal pressure increases to maintain equilibrium.Depending on the total mass the star may then expand to a giant or 'explode' catastrophically as a nova.
The measure of force with which air particles push on matter?
The measure of force of gas particles against a surface is known as pressure (P). In SI units the force of gas pressure is in ATM(s) and Pascal's.
What are three properties of matter that you can measure using the metric system?
An object that takes up space is called matter. The three particles used to measure matter are by the count, by the mass, or by the volume.
Does the mass of a metal sphere change if it is given a positive charge?
Yes, it decreases very slightly. We cannot measure the change directly. :)
The measure of how much matter there is in an oject or substance?
That's called the mass.
What is the measure of the average amount of motion particles of matter called?
Tempiture
