In a closed container, you can decrease volume by increasing the pressure. So if you have a gas in a container and crush the container smaller, the volume decreases because the pressure increased.

For temperature, as you increase T the molecules move around more and create a larger volume. Conversely, if you decrease the temperature, they slow down and condense, eventually forming a liquid.

Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?

The following variables are directly proportional: Temperature and Pressure Temperature and Volume These variables are inversely proportional: Pressure and Volume


Are pressure and vacuum inversely proportional or directly?

I am not sure if they are proportional, but they are inversely related. High pressure makes a low vacuum, and low pressure makes a high vacuum.


Is pressure inversely proportional to volume?

Yes, pressure is inversely proportional to volume according to Boyle's Law, which states that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa.


Is velocity inversely proportional to pressure?

There is no direct relationship.


Are mass and density inversely proportional?

No, mass and density are not inversely proportional. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while density is a measure of how tightly packed the matter is within the object. They can vary independently of each other.


Is an object's density directly proportional to an object's volume?

An object's density is inversely proportional to the object's volume. As the volume increases the density decreases, and vice versa.


Is an object's density directly proportional to an object volume?

An object's density is inversely proportional to the object's volume. As the volume increases the density decreases, and vice versa.


Are pressure and volume directly proportional?

No, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. This means that as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.


Measurement of pressure is determined by?

Pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to Area. If force is more, pressure is more and if area is more, pressure will be less.


What is the relationship between pressure, density, temperature, and the gas constant in the ideal gas law equation p RT?

In the ideal gas law equation p RT, pressure (p), density (), temperature (T), and the gas constant (R) are related. Pressure is directly proportional to density and temperature, and inversely proportional to the gas constant. This means that as pressure or temperature increases, density also increases, while the gas constant remains constant.


Why pressure is inversely proportional to volume?

Pressure is given as Force per unit area (ie. 1 Pascal of pressure is the experienced when 1 Newton of force is exerted over an area of 1m^2). Therefore Pressure and Force are proportional to one another. Area the force is exerted over is inversely proportional to pressure.


Example of inverse proportion?

Example of inverse proportion is: Density = Mass/Volume Because the formula represents that the density is directly proportional to the mass while density is inversely proportional to volume. Remember that inversely proportional means that if variable A increases, the variable B decreases, and if variable B increases, the variable A decreases.
