When the temperature of a gas stays constant and you decrease the volume what do you observe?

When the temperature of a gas is constant and the volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.


If the temperature of a reaction increases what happens to the value of the equilibruim constant?

Equilibrium constant changes when temperature changes. For an endothermic reaction, the equilibrium constant increases with temperature while for an exothermic reaction equilibrium constant decreases with increase in temperature. Equilibrium constants are only affected by change in temperature.


What happens to kinetic energy of gas particles as temperature decreases at a constant pressure?

kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature is a postulate in kinetic molecular theory of matter.if the pressure is kept constant when temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases resulting in decrease in the volume of the gas. Charle's Law state's that For a given mass of dry gas at constant pressure ,volume is directionally proportional to temperature ie V~T


What will happen to the pressure of a contained gas if its temperature is lowered?

If the temperature of the gas is lowered, its pressure will decrease as well, assuming the volume remains constant. This is because as the temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules also decreases, leading to fewer collisions with the container walls per unit of time, resulting in lower pressure.


What happens to the pressure when volume increases or decreases and temperature stays constant?

When the temperature is increased, the volume of a container gets larger, and vice versa. This can be found by examining one of the fundamental laws of gasses, the combined gas law. It states that the product of pressure and volume, divided by temperature yields a constant value: pV/T=k Where k is a constant with units of energy/temperature. Thus, in order for k to remain constant, temperature and volume must be varied inversely to one another.

What happens to volume during phase changes?

Volume increases with increase in temperature, and decreases with decrease in temperature.


When the temperature is constant gas volume will decrease as the pressure decreases is that true?

If I remember correctly it is a little more complicated than that. The general equation PV=nRT for an ideal gas is elementary knowledge. The fact is that when you increase temperature many things can happen. It depends on how you treat your system. In general if you increase temperature in an open system the pressure will remain fairly constant, but the volume will increase. If it is a closed system in which the volume is not allowed to expand the pressure will increase with increased temperature. You also have to remember chemical properties also such as phase changes. Hope that rambling mess helps lol.


When temperature decreases what does the volume of liquid water do increase or decrease?

The volume of water increase under 3,98 oC.


When temperature increases does density increase or decrease?

An increase in temperature usually causes an increase in volume. Since the mass doesn't change, density decreases. tt


If mass decreases does density increase?

No its density decreases assuming volume remains constant. Density is defined as mass / volume, so if mass (the numerator) decreases but volume (the denominator) doesn't change, the quotient will decrease.


In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?

Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere


What will happen if a gas is held at constant temperature has an increase in pressure applied to it?

The volume of the gas will decrease. the gas will also attempt to increase in temperature.
