Compressing a gas means increasing the pressure on the gas and according to Boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a given amount of a gas(at constant temperature) . Therefore increasing the pressure (compression) of the gas reduces the volume of the gas.

Yes, by compressing the gas.


How do you increase the volume of a gas without changing its particles?

You can increase the volume of a gas by increasing the pressure applied to it. By compressing the gas into a smaller space, the gas particles will occupy a larger volume due to the increased pressure. This does not change the number or type of particles present in the gas.


Does gas have shape and will volume affect it?

Gas tends to take the shape of the volume it's in. If the volume is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will increase.


Does changing the temperature of a gas has no effect on the volume of the gas?

No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).

What are the 2 factors that affect gas preassure?

There are four factors that affect gas pressure. The ideal gas law enumerates them: Pressure = number of gas molecules * constant describing the particular gas's behavior * temperature of the gas / volume in which the gas is confined


How do we find the volume of gas?

let me guess....by compressing it cause the particles of gases have a lot of space between them and when we compress them they become liquid thus u can find the volumew of gas...hope that helped
