What happens to a volume of a gas when temperature is decreased?

Temperature and volume vary directly, so if temperature decreases, so does volume. Volume decreases because the measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas particles (temperature) is decreasing also. When that happens, a gas cannot expand, and will decrease.

What will happen to gas pressure when the volume is decreased?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of that gas if?
the pressure and temperature are held constant. ideal gas law: Pressure * Volume = moles of gas * temperature * gas constant
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
How does volume affect temperature?
Normally there is no affect. In a gas, a CHANGE of volume of a single body, will give a change in temperature. If a gas is compressed the temperature will increase. If a gas is allowed to expand, there will be a reduction in temperature. This principle is used in diesel engines, to ignite the fuel by compression and fridges, where an expansion of gas causes cooling.
Will the temperature of a gas increase or decrease or remain the same if the volume is decreased and the pressure is increased?
The volume of a gas will decrease.Let's think of some good examples. How about an air tank? Its volume is very small but the gas it contains could easily fill a small room. How is the volume so small, then? Because the gas is under extremely high pressure.Okay so intuition from every day life tells us increase in pressure means decrease in volume.Examples of temperature? A hot air balloon is filled by a flame that heats the gas inside it. The balloon gets bigger - the volume rises. This is an especially relevant example since the hot air balloon rises due to buoyancy, meaning the air inside it is less dense than the air outside it.Less dense means there is less mass per volume inside it, so again we know that the gas inside the balloon has undergone an increase in volume in response to being heated.So increase of temperature means an increase of volume.The answer to your question, then, is that the volume will decrease (which is actually kinda difficult to do sometimes...but still a theoretical fact).For further reading and understanding, see "Ideal gas law".
What happens to the volume of a gas - if the temperature is decreased?
It decreases.
If the temperature of a gas is decreased at a constant pressure what happens to its volume?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
What happens to the pressure of gas when the volume is doubled and no change in Kelvin temperature?
The pressure is decreased to 50 %.
If temperature of a gas increases and put under decreased pressure what happens?
It will start to smell. The volume will increase.
If the temperature of that gas that is in t he container is decreased what happens to its pressure?
If the volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.
What happens when the pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?

What happens to gas pressure when the volume is decreased?
The pressure will increase.
What did Charles find about volume and temperature?
Charles found that when the temperature of a gas is increased at constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is decreased at constant pressure, its volume decreases.
When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume of the gas decreases when the pressure is decreased the volume increases?
decreases
What is it called when the volume of gas is reduced when the temperature is decreased?
Boyle's Law
