Neither. Volume is independent of mass. Effectively, if you increase the volume of a substance you are moving the particles that comprise that substance apart. Eventually, you would have a gas which expands to fill the volume of its container.

What happens when pressure is increased on gases?

The volume decrease and the density increase.


At a constant temperature what is the impact to volume if the pressure is increased?

Volume & pressure are inversely proportionate, if temperature stays constant volume would decrease at a factor proporionate to the increase in pressure.


How can pressure be increased or decreased?

Pressure can be increased by adding more force or reducing the area over which the force is applied. It can be decreased by reducing the force or increasing the area over which the force is distributed. Additionally, changing the volume of a container can also affect pressure, as pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a fixed amount of gas.


What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?

Volume decrease.


Will increase the volume of the gas?

An increase of the temperature or a decrease of the pressure.


Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?

If the pressure on a gas increases, its volume would generally decrease, provided that the temperature remains constant. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.


How will a pressure increase affect a gaseous system?

According to Boyle's Law of Pressure-Volume Relationship, an increase in the pressure of a gas will decrease it's volume. And according to Charles's Law of Temperature-Pressure Relationship, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature.


What would increase or decrease net filtration pressure?

An increase in blood pressure, blood volume, or permeability of the filtration barrier would increase net filtration pressure. On the other hand, a decrease in blood pressure, blood volume, or an increase in plasma protein concentration would decrease net filtration pressure.


Is pressure vs volume direct or indirect?

Pressure and volume are inversely related in a system at constant temperature (Boyle's Law). As pressure increases, volume decreases and vice versa. This relationship is direct in the sense that an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in volume, and a decrease in pressure leads to an increase in volume.


When the volume of gas decreases would the pressure increase or decrease?

It would increase.


Under which conditions will the volume of a given sample of a gas always decrease?

The Ideal Gas Law states that PV=nRT, where P=pressure, V=volume, n=number of moles of gas, R=the relativity constant, and T=temp in Kelvin. According to this law, volume (V) varies as V=(nRT)/P. Using this, we can determine that the volume would normally increase with an increase in the number of moles and/or an increase in the temperature and/or a decrease in pressure. Therefore, we can logically determine that the volume of a gas would decrease in the instance of increasing temperature if either the number of moles of gas was decreased or the pressure was increased (to an extent where the level of volume increase by temperature change has been overcome.)


What determines the pressure on the low pressure side of the system?

The pressure on the low pressure side of a system is determined by factors such as the volume of the system, the amount of gas present, and the temperature. A decrease in volume or an increase in temperature can lead to an increase in pressure. Conversely, an increase in volume or a decrease in temperature can lead to a decrease in pressure on the low pressure side.
