What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?

The pressure would increase.


When the pressure of a fixed mass of gas increases when temperature increases at constant volume what happens?

There are a number of possible results from the increase in temperature and pressure of a gas held at a constant volume. In some cases, the container will fail and there will be an explosion (this is what happens with bombs, for example). But the container may be strong enough that it does not fail. In that case, under conditions of high temperature and pressure, you might see increased chemical activity in the gas in question, perhaps new compounds would be formed, but that would depend upon the gas in question, as well as the specific temperature and pressure that you reach. At sufficiently high temperature and pressure you can also get nuclear reactions. The higher the temperature and pressure become, the wider the range of possible results.


What happens when a gas is compressed in a closed container?

The particles get closer together and their temperature increases.


What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume of its container was increased?

Assuming you haven't put any more gas in the container, the pressure will go down. Usually, the reason the volume of the container gets larger is that you put more gas in the container and the gas pressure in the container seeks to equalize with the pressure outside it.


What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?

the gas condenses to become liquid in the solid container

What happens to pressure in a container while the temperature rises?

Answer The pressure increases when the temperature rises.


If the temperature of that gas that is in t he container is decreased what happens to its pressure?

If the volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.


What happens to the pressure of a gas inside of a container if the temperature of the gas decreases?

The pressure of the gas would also decrease.


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 happens to the atmospheric pressure as one rises from sea level to the therosphere?

Rising from the sea level to the higher levels will result in decrease of temperature and pressure.


What happens when solute particles are added to a pure solvent in a closed container at a constant temperature and pressure?

it decreases.


What happens to the pressure of a container at a constant pressure and temperature when gas particles are added?

The pressure will increase. The reason is that the more air particles relative the volume the more of a pressure you are going to have, the same thing is true of temperature changes.


What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a rigid container if the temperature of the gas temperature of the gas decreases?

Cooling a pressurized container will cause the internal pressure to decrease.This works in reverse too. Depressurizing a pressurized container will lower the internal temperature (and by conduction, the temperature of the container itself). This is why ice often forms around propane gas cylinders after extended use.


What happens when the temperature of a gas increased?

If you increase the temperature of a gas, its particles (atoms or molecules) will speed up. If it is in a closed container, the pressure will also increase.


What happens to the atmospheric pressure when weather is fair?

it dies


What happens to atmospheric pressure as you climb a mountain?

What happens at a substance's boiling point?
