With the ideal gas law PV=nRT, if n (number of molecules, R(gas constant) and T (temperature) are fixed, then the product of P (pressure) and V (volume) is also constant.

So. Pressure and Volume are inversely related. If pressure goes up, volume must go down and if pressure goes down, volume must increase. The same goes with increasing or decreasing volume.

How does reducing the volume of a gas affect its pressure if the temperature of a gas and the number of particles are constant?

At a constant temperature, the volume and the pressure are inversely proportional, that it, the greater the volume, the lesser the pressure on the gas, and viceversa.


What change will not affect the pressure in a container?

Changing the color of the container will not affect the pressure inside it. Pressure is determined by factors such as temperature, volume, and the number of gas molecules present, not by the container's color.

Does volume affect water pressure?

Yes, the more the water the greater the pressure of all the water pushing down on other water.


What factors affects pressure?

There are two factors that affect gas pressure. These factors are temperature and volume. Higher volume means lower pressure. Higher temperature means higher pressure.

Does pressure depend on volume or depth?

Pressure depends on depth, not volume. Pressure increases with increasing depth due to the weight of the overlying fluid pressing down. Volume can affect pressure indirectly by changing the depth of the fluid column.
