The molecules will not collide as often with the walls decreasing the volume
Decreasing the gas volume increases the pressure of the gas, according to Boyle's Law. This is because as the volume decreases, the gas particles are more confined and collide more frequently with the walls of the container, resulting in an increase in pressure.
No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).
Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas (apex)
There are four factors that affect gas pressure. The ideal gas law enumerates them: Pressure = number of gas molecules * constant describing the particular gas's behavior * temperature of the gas / volume in which the gas is confined
If the volume of the container is not fixed, increasing the temperature will cause a gas to expand (increase the volume), and contract when cooled (decreasing the volume). This would be the case for a gas inside a piston, or inside a rubber balloon. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the temperature will increase the pressure, and decreasing the temperature will decrease the pressure. This would be the case for a gas in a closed solid container, like a canister or sealed metal box. Increasing pressure will cause the gas to contract (reducing the volume), and decreasing the pressure will cause the gas to expand (increasing the volume). Again, this is if the volume is not fixed. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the pressure will increase the temperature, and decreasing the pressure will decrease the temperature. These concepts are all determined by something called the Ideal Gas Law. To find out more about how this works, see the Related Questions links below this answer. Gases can also be changed to a liquid or solid if the temperature is too low or the pressure is too high. As an example steam changes to a liquid when it touches a cold object, and nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid nitrogen by compressing it to very high pressures.
If the temperature remains constant, decreasing the volume will increase the pressure.
Decreasing the gas volume increases the pressure of the gas, according to Boyle's Law. This is because as the volume decreases, the gas particles are more confined and collide more frequently with the walls of the container, resulting in an increase in pressure.
As indicated by Charles's Law, at constant pressure, the volume decreases when the temperature decreases. This is due to slowed collisions between molecules.
The pressure increase.
Gas pressure is affected by factors such as temperature, volume, and the number of gas particles present. For instance, increasing the temperature of a gas will increase its pressure, while decreasing the volume of a gas will increase its pressure as well. Additionally, having more gas particles in a given space will lead to higher pressure.
If the temperature of the gas is decreasing, then in order to maintain constant pressure, you would have to compress it in volume.
No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).
Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas (apex)
At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.
It affects pressure, not volume.
increasing pressure and decreasing temperature, following the principles of the gas laws. By reducing the volume and cooling the gas, it will condense into a liquid state.
