You have 3 L of gas at a certain temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the gas be if the temperature doubled and the pressure stayed the same?

Charles Law (also known as the law of volumes) describes how gases tend to expand or contract with temperature changes.If the temperature changes and the gas molecules and pressure remains the same then the volume will increase or decrease at the same rate that the temperature changes.Since the temperature doubled the volume will double to 6L.


How does decreasing the gas volume affect the pressue of a gas?

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.


What is the dependent variable that shows how the volume of gas changes with changes in temperature?

The volume of gas


What temperature change would cause a sample of an ideal gas to double in volume while the pressure was held constant?

If the volume is fixed, then doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure.At 0° C, the absolute temperature is 273 K. Heat the gas to 273° C = 546 K.


Does oxygen and nitrogen weigh the same in volume?

No, one mole of each, having the same VOLUME (about 22.4 L at STP), differ though in their masses: 32 g/mol for O2 and 28 g/mol for N2 So their densities (mass per volume) also differ in the same way: 1.43 g/L and 1.25 g/L respectively, at STP.

When a gas is cooled it?

The Ideal Gas Laws describe the relationship of temperature, pressure, and volume for a gas. These three things are all related. At lower temperatures a gas will exert lower pressure if the volume remains the same, or can exert the same pressure but in a smaller volume.

What volume of nitrous oxide gas has the same number of atoms as 9.00L od neon gas at same temperature and pressure?

Since both gases are at the same temperature and pressure, they have the same number of moles. Nitrous oxide (N2O) has 3 atoms in a molecule, while neon (Ne) is a monoatomic gas. Therefore, 9.00L of neon gas would have the same number of atoms as 3 times the volume of nitrous oxide gas, so the volume of nitrous oxide gas needed would be 3.00L.


How is the volume of gas measured?

The volume of a gas is totally dependent on the container it is in, gas fills its container completely by its particles spreading out. The volume of the container is the same as volume of the gas inside the container. gasses are most commonly measured in SI units (Liters, mililiters, .....).


What happens to enlcosed gas when you double the number of gas partilces?

If you double the amount of gas in the same volume you will double the pressure.


What is true of all particles of a gas encloosed within a container?

All gas particles are in constant random motion and collide with each other and the walls of the container. They have negligible volume compared to the volume of the container and exert pressure on the walls of the container due to their collisions. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.


How does volume temperature and density affect gas pressure?

According the kinetic theory of gases and Charles law increasing the temperature of a gas increases its volume. This is due to the increased collisions between gas molecules. With a larger volume and the same mass the gas's density decreases.


When does raising the temperature of a gas increase the pressure?

This is possible in a closed system.
