According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a gas depends on its volume, so if you lower the volume, the pressure increases.

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

Answer The pressure increases when the temperature rises.


Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?

it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.


What happens to the gases in it as magma rises toward the surface?

As magma rises, the gases contained within expand due to the decrease in pressure on them as they rise. This creates bubbles that float through the magma, Like the sudden decrease in pressure on the gas in a carbonated beverage when opening, it's container releases a mass of rising bubbles.


What happens to the dissolved gases in magma as the magma ascends towards the surface of earth?

As magma rises, the gases contained within expand due to the decrease in pressure on them as they rise. This creates bubbles that float through the magma, Like the sudden decrease in pressure on the gas in a carbonated beverage when opening, it's container releases a mass of rising bubbles.


If a gas in a seal container has a pressure of 50 kPa at 300 k what will the pressure be if the temperature rises to 360 k?

60kpa


When happens when air is heated?

It expands, taking up more space, if there is no more space, pressure in the container increases.


What happens to spacing between streamlines of gas flowing from large pipe to smaller pipe?

Pressure rises at the junction.


What happens to the volume of a gas when squashed?

They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises. PV = nRT It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)


What happens when an interstellar cloud fragments shrink?

temperature rises it first becomes opaque pressure rises density rises so in other words all the above


What happens when gas particles heats up and the temperature rises?

They will attempt to move apart. The effect of this on the gas contained therein depends on how rigid your container is. If you have a real flexible container like a balloon, the gas will increase in volume. If it's a rigid container like a gas cylinder, the pressure will go up.


When nitrogen gas is added to a sample of neon gas in a closed container the pressure inside does what?

It rises, because you have packed more atoms into the same space.


What causes the gases in magma to expand?

When magma is underground it is under enormous pressure, which causes the gasses to dissolve in the magma. As the magma rises pressure decreases and the gasses come out of solution. All gasses expand when decompressed.
