How does change in pressure affect the volume of a gas?

Answer 1

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional. If you double one, the other will be reduced by 1/2 (as long as the temperature is constant). Boyles law states: P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2 In English that means, pressure times volume divided by temperature in the first "state" will equal to pressure times volume divided by temperature in the second state. Temperatures are all converted to degrees kelvin. So, calculate the pressure, temperature and volume of a quantity of a gas, change one of the variables of that quantity of gas for the second state and the other values will change to maintain equality.

Answer 2

The "ideal gas" equation gives such relation. It gives fair prediction of the relation

between P,V and T (pressure, volume and absolute temperature) for real gases at

low pressures (in relation to their critical pressure) and high temperatures (in

relation to their critical temperature). The equation is the following:

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles and R is the Universal Gas Constant.

You can find R in different units depending on the units you are going to use.

e.g., R = 8.31447 kPa∙m3/kmol∙K

R = 82.057 L∙atm/kmol∙K

R = 10.73 psia∙ft3/lbmol∙R

Answer 3

Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume are related inversely, so, as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases, and as volume of a gas increases, its pressure decreases.
PV = nRT

Answer 4

The more volume, the more pressure. Depending on what gas it is, it would most likely be proportional. Such as 1 cubic meter of gas per 2 pounds.

Sorry, but this is exactly wrong. If temperature and amount of gas (mass) remain constant, and volume increases pressure will decrease.

Answer 5

According to Boyle's Law at constant temperature, the volume of a given quantity of gas varies inversily with the pressure exerted on it.

Answer 6

gas pressure is inversely proportional to gas volume.more volume.less pressure&vice versa

Answer 7

PV=RT, Pressure and Volume are inversely related, P=K/T.

Answer 8

Increasing the pressure the volume of a gas decrease.
