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 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.


What is chlorine's density in grams per milliliter or g mL?

Chlorine is a gas. Its density depends on pressure, temperature and volume of the container.


What is the density of chlorine gas at standard temperature and pressure in grams per liter?

The density of chlorine as gas is 3,2 g/L at 0 0C and 101 325 kPa.


When a pressure on a gas increases will the volume increase or decrease?

For a fixed mass of gas, the gas will become compressed by pressure and its volume will decrease. This is why pressurized gas containers explode when breached: the container breach eliminates the barrier between the gas compressed by the container and the outside air; the pressurized gas immediately increases the volume it occupies in the explosive decompression until its density equals the density of the regular atmosphere.


What is the density of clorine?

Chlorine is a gas at STP. Density is 71/22.4 = 3.17 g/L


How many cubic meter of gas when compressed makes one kilo gram by weight?

Depends on the density of the gas.


What is the density of gas?

Asking "what is the density of a gas" is just like asking "what is the density of a liquid or solid". This entirely depends on what gas it is and only in the case of gases, what temperature and pressure it is at too.


Is chlorine gas heavier then air and why?

Yes, chlorine gas is about 2.5 times heavier than air. At standard conditions (pressure = 101.325 kPa and tenmperature = 15 degC), the density of chlorine gas is 3.04 kg/m3 and the density of air in 1.202 kg/m3. This means that chlorine gas will not 'rise' and tend to stay low on the ground. This causes many problems with ventilation.


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

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


How does increasing the density of gas affect its pressure?

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