It will effect the Pressure [because the volume is constant].

Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of all the molecules of a particular substance. Low temperature means that the molecules are moving slowly. A high temperature means the molecules are moving very quickly.

When particles are moving more quickly, they will hit against the walls of the container more frequently and with greater intensity, putting an expansionary pressure on the container, like a hot-air balloon. Conversely, slow moving particles hit against the walls of the container more infrequently and with less intensity, decreasing the overall pressure.

Another way of saying this is that a hot gas will have greater volume and a cold gas will have less volume. OR, if you wish, hotter temperatures decrease the density of the gas while colder temperatures increase the density of the gas.

What determines the pressure of confined gas?

The pressure of a confined gas is determined by its temperature, volume, and the number of gas molecules present. The pressure increases with higher temperature or if the volume is decreased, while the pressure decreases with lower temperature or if the volume is increased. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law.


Why is the relationship between pressure and volume of a confined gas inverse?

The relationship between pressure and volume of a confined gas is inverse because of Boyle's Law. This law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. As the volume decreases, the gas particles are forced closer together, leading to more frequent collisions with the container walls and an increase in pressure.


If the pressure exerted on a confined gas is doubled then what is going to happen to the volume of the gas?

If the pressure on a confined gas is doubled (assuming temperature remains constant), the volume of the gas will be reduced by half. This is known as Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.


When the volume of a confined gas remains the same the pressure will increase if the blank increases?

Temperature. Think about it, if the molecules start heating up they start vibrating more, need more space for themselves, expand, and ultimately increase the pressure. PS I'm a PhD chemical engineer...


What would the effect on temperature and volume be if you changed the number of moles of gas in a container?

In a container the volume remain constant but the pressure increase.

What is the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas?

An increase in temperature will result in an increase in volume so long as it is not confined, while adecrease in temperature will result in a decease in volume.


What happens to the pressure of a confined gas at a constant temperature when the volume is reduced by half?

When the volume of a confined gas is reduced by half at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas will double according to Boyle's Law. This is because the product of pressure and volume is constant for a given amount of gas at constant temperature. When the volume decreases, the pressure increases to maintain this equilibrium.


What is the effect of a decrease in volume of a sealed container of gas with no change in temperature?

A decrease in volume of a sealed container of gas with no change in temperature leads to an increase in pressure according to Boyle's Law. This is because the gas molecules are confined to a smaller space, resulting in more frequent collisions with the container walls.


What determines the pressure of confined gas?

The pressure of a confined gas is determined by its temperature, volume, and the number of gas molecules present. The pressure increases with higher temperature or if the volume is decreased, while the pressure decreases with lower temperature or if the volume is increased. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law.


Does changing the temperature of a gas has no effect on the volume of the gas?

No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).


What are the 2 factors that affect gas preassure?

There are four factors that affect gas pressure. The ideal gas law enumerates them: Pressure = number of gas molecules * constant describing the particular gas's behavior * temperature of the gas / volume in which the gas is confined


What effect does an increase in temperature have on a gas?

If possible, the gas will increase in volume. If it is unable to increase in volume for some reason, it will increase in pressure.


What is the pressure exerted by a vapor confined within a given space?

The pressure exerted by a vapor confined within a given space depends on factors such as temperature, volume of the space, and the number of gas molecules present. It follows the ideal gas law, where pressure is directly proportional to the number of molecules and temperature, and inversely proportional to the volume of the container.


What is the independent variable in an experiment that shows how the volume of gas changes with the temperature?

The independent variable in this experiment is the temperature. This is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher to observe its effect on the volume of gas.


If the volume of a confined gas is expanded to four times the original volume while its temperature remains constant what change will be observed?

The pressure of the gas will decrease by a factor of four when the volume is expanded to four times its original volume at a constant temperature, according to Boyle's Law.


When does the rising the temperature of a gas increase its pressure?

When the gas is confined.


What is the effect of varying the temperature on the volume of a constant mass of a gas at a constant pressure?

the relation is given by charles law which says that the volume of a constant mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature so increase in temperature causes an increASE in the volume
