How can air pressure be changed?

Using the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 we find there are two variables we might influence in order to change the pressure of a gas. (P=pressure, V=volume, T=temperature in degrees Kelvin) By increasing or decreasing the temperature of the bottle, you can increase or decrease the pressure within. If the bottle is made of a flexible material, like plastic, you can apply pressure to the bottle. By either squeezing the bottle or increasing atmospheric pressure outside, you deform the bottle and decrease it's volume. Since the quantity of gas inside the bottle is constant, the decrease in volume increases the pressure. Likewise to decrease the pressure in a sealed flexible bottle, you can decrease air pressure outside.


Does an increase in humidity correlate with an increase in air pressure?

No, an increase in humidity does not necessarily correlate with an increase in air pressure. Humidity and air pressure are two separate atmospheric conditions that can change independently of each other.


How would air pressure change as you drive up and then down a mountain?

As you drive up a mountain, air pressure decreases because atmospheric pressure decreases with higher altitude. As you drive down the mountain, air pressure increases because the weight of the air above you increases as you descend to lower altitudes.


Do air pressure and temperature change in the same way with altitude?

Air pressure and temperature do not change in the same way with altitude. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases because there is less air mass above pushing down. This leads to a decrease in temperature with altitude at a rate of about 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet due to the decrease in pressure causing the air to expand and cool.


What is the air pressure during a lightning storm?

During a lightning storm, the air pressure does not significantly change. Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs between clouds or between a cloud and the ground, but it does not have a direct impact on the air pressure in the atmosphere.

Which two variables change in boyle's law?

In Boyle's law, pressure and volume are the two variables that change. The relationship between pressure and volume is inverse; as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa, when the temperature is kept constant.


What is the difference between static and dynamic variables?

Static variables (should) remain the same e.g. temperature of a water bath, k constant of a particular spring. Dynamic variables change as the experiment progresses e.g. air temperature and pressure, amount of natural light.


How does air pressure change as altitude change?

Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.


A change in can bring about a change in air pressure?

if the dna sequence of a gene was tacttaccgagctagact then what kind of mutation has occured This has nothing to do with the question of air pressure. Either a change of temperature or a change of volume can affect air pressure, according to Boyle's Law of Gases. Increasing temperature=increased air pressure Decreased volume=increased air pressure The reverse is also true. Decreased temperature=decreased air pressure Increased volume=decreased air pressure

Can you see air pressure change?

No. You can see it expand the object that is containing the air as the air pressure increases.


Does air pressure change with altitude?

The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.
