If the volume of a container of air is reduced by one half the partial pressure of the oxygen with in the container will be doubled. If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, the pressure inside the container will increase.

The volume of a gas is the same as the volume of its?

The volume and shape of a gas are determined by its volume and shape of its container.


Why does a gas exert more pressure if it's volume is reduced?

As the volume is decreased, the same number of molecules of air have a smaller space to move freely in. The number of collisions of molecules of air with the walls of the container per unit time increases. Since pressure is the force exerted over an area, the pressure increases.


What will happen to the pressure inside the container if the volume of a container of gas is reduced?

If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, the pressure inside the container will increase. This is because reducing the volume decreases the amount of space the gas molecules have to move around, leading to them colliding more frequently with the walls of the container, thus increasing the pressure.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?

The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx


What happens to to the volume of a container when a rock is added?

Placing a rock in a container does not alter the volume of the container, although it does occupy some of that volume.

What if volume of a container of air is reduced by one- half what happens to the partial pressure of oxygen within the container?

it doublesIf the mass of the air remains constant, the PPO2 doubles.


If the pressure of a gas in a container is 10psi what will the pressure be in the volume of the container is reduced to one-half of its original size?

If the volume of the container is reduced to one-half of its original size, the pressure will increase proportionally according to Boyle's Law. So if the original pressure was 10 psi, then the new pressure would be 20 psi when the volume is reduced by half.

Why does the heated air exert more than pressure than the unheated air?

It doesn't unless it is constrained in a constant volume container. When in a container, as the air is heated its molecules vibrate more and take up more volume - as the volume of the container is fixed then Charles's law applies and the pressure goes up.


Is the volume of air inside a container still the same when some water is poured inside?

No, the water displaces the air if the container is open.


If you shrink a container containing gas what happens to the volume of the gas?

If you shrink the container containing gas, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are forced into a smaller space. This increase in pressure due to the reduced volume is described by Boyle's Law.


What properties do air do have?

Air has pressure, has mas has volume.,Air takes the shape of its container, flows etc..............


Does increaseing the volume of a container increase the pressure of gas in a closed container?

Consider your bicycle pump. When we decrease the volume in the pump by pushing the plunger, the volume of the gas (air) gets smaller.


What is something that will always take up the shape and volume of its container?

Air (a gas).
