Since you have more molecules, then you are trying to pack more molecules into the same space (volume). Since more molecules are in the same space, then more molecules will be hitting the wall of the container (same volume). Since more are hitting the container wall , then the pressure increases.

When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?

Temperature increases as pressure increases.


Using the kinetic theory explain why the pressure of a gas increases when the temperature increases?

When the temperature of a gas increases, the Kinetic Energy of the particles increases. This means that they move faster and apply a greater force when they collide with the walls of the container. As pressure is the force per unit area on the container, the pressure increases. This is Gay-Lussac's "Pressure Temperature" Law: "P = kT".


How does water affect the melting temperature of rock?

In theory yes: increasing pressure will increase the melting point mostly (not for ice!). In practice: it is hardly noticable, not significant at all, for most solid materials.Pressure increases the melting point of rock. The molecules are packed tighter together and thus take more energy to liquefy.


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


How does the water vapor content of air change with increasing temperature?

From what I think, as temperature increases, space between molecules of particles of air increases, which now has more space for water vapor to fit in. Also, as temperature increases, more water can evaporate to form vapor, so IF THE QUESTION IS IN RELATION TO A PLACE NEAR A WATER BODY, the water vapor content should increase.

Does the increasing temperature increase pressure?

The temperature increases when pressure increases. This is according to the law of pressure. This law mentions that pressure is directly proportional to temperature.


Does the pressure of a gas always increases with increasing temperature?

In general, the pressure of a gas increases with increasing temperature, assuming volume remains constant (according to Gay-Lussac's Law). This is because as temperature increases, gas molecules gain more kinetic energy and collide with the container walls more frequently and with greater force, resulting in increased pressure.


The density of water depends on its?

Pressure and temperature. Increasing the pressure increases the density. Increasing the temperature decreases the density between melting point and 4oC


What happens to the temperature if the pressure of a gas increases?

The pressure increases.


Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?

If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.


What would be a direct effect of increases of the amounts of this gas?

Increasing the amount of a gas increases the temperature and pressure in a container


When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?

Temperature increases as pressure increases.


Why does temperature affect the air pressure?

Air temperature and air pressure are inversely proportional. As temperature increases, air pressure decreases. This is best demonstrated in an enclosed vessel.


How do depth and temperature affect pressure?

As depth increases, pressure also increases due to the weight of the water column above. Temperature affects pressure by influencing the density of a fluid; warm water is less dense and exerts less pressure than cold water at the same depth.


What is the relationship between pressure and temperature according to the ideal gas law formula?

According to the ideal gas law formula, pressure and temperature are directly proportional. This means that as pressure increases, temperature also increases, and vice versa.


What is the relationship between pressure and temperature according to Gay-Lussac's Law?

According to Gay-Lussac's Law, the relationship between pressure and temperature is direct. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its pressure also increases, and vice versa.


Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in closed rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?

Because the pressure increases The real answer is: Charles's Law. He found that if you increase the temperature of a constant pressure the volume increases also.
