When gasses are cooled, the gas molecules move more slowly. Slower moving molecules exert less pressure on the walls of the container when they collide with it. If the container is a balllon that can expand and contract, then less pressure allows the balloon to contract.

How does increasing the density of gas affect its pressure?

By increasing the density of a gas its air pressure will subsequently increase.


How is ammonia liquefied?

Liquefaction by cooling down (lower temperature) and compression (higher pressure)


What is the Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation?

Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation, which removes water and concentrates the salt content. This increased salinity makes the water denser. Other processes that can increase seawater density include cooling and the formation of sea ice.


What is the relationship between temperature and pressure that affects the nitrogen gas density?

The relationship between temperature and pressure that affects the density of nitrogen gas is described by the ideal gas law. According to this law, as temperature increases, the pressure of the gas also increases, leading to a decrease in gas density. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the pressure decreases, resulting in an increase in gas density.


How do you calculate the density of a gas mixture?

To calculate the density of a gas mixture, you would need to know the individual densities of each gas in the mixture and their respective proportions. The formula for calculating the density of a gas mixture is: Density of gas mixture (Density of gas 1 x Fraction of gas 1) (Density of gas 2 x Fraction of gas 2) ... (Density of gas n x Fraction of gas n) Where the fractions of each gas are expressed as a decimal and add up to 1.

How cooling water effects its density HELPPPP?

When you cool water its density will increase as it will become more dense.


If chlorine gas is compressed does its density increase?

Yes It does increase. http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ While this website doesn't include chlorine, any gas that is compressed will increase in density. Different gasses all have different compression-density relationships, but all gasses that are compressed will increase in density.

Why does density increase when a gas is compressed?

There will be the same amount of gas but in a smaller space. Density is mass/volume So as volume decreases and mass is constant, the density increases.


What happens the density of a gas as it is compressed?

The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.

How can the speed of sound through a gas increase?

The speed of sound may vary, depending on:* On the type of gas * On the temperature * On the pressure


How does increasing the density of a gas affect air pressure?

The increase in pressure signifies the increase in the number of collisions of the gas atoms with its container, this can result from 2 factors (when temperature is constant): either there is gas added, or the volume of the container has been decreased. Thus the Density, which is mass (which can be equated to amount of gas) divided by volume, and increase in mass or decrease in volume will effectively increase the density of the gas.


Does an increase in the volume of a gas increase its density?

depends. volume is the amount of mass/weight. so it all depends


Why does the density stay if the mass increases?

The question cannot be answered because its basic assertion not true. If the mass of a gas in a closed container is increased, then the density of the gas WILL increase.
