Pressure is used to increase the volume of gas?

Answer 1

An increase of the temperature or a decrease of the pressure.

Answer 2

If the quantity of the gas, i.e. the weight of the gas, and the volume of it's container remains the same, the Temperature is the only variable left to play with. The higher the Temperature, the higher the pressure will be. If the Volume of the container holding the gas decreases (everything else remaining constant,) the temperature will similarly increase.

Remember the equation P x V = nR x T, where P is pressure, V is the volume, T is the absolute temperature, and the factors, nR represent the quantity of the gas.

Answer 3

Pressure is used to compress gases, not necessarily to increase their volume. When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas molecules are forced closer together, reducing their volume. If pressure is released, the gas will expand to fill the available space.

Answer 4

To increase the volume of a gas * reduce the pressure, or * increase the temperature, or * add more gas

Answer 5

Pressure is used to increase the volume of gas in Boyle's law.

Answer 6

Volume increases proportionally as pressure decreases, as long as temperature and the number of moles of gas remain the same. So, doubling the pressure halves the volume, or vice versa.

Answer 7

Decreasing the pressure or increasing the temperature would increase the volume of ideal gas in a closed container with variable volume.

V = nRT / P

Answer 8

Yes, the volume of a gas can increase.
