What will increase the volume of gas?

change the pressure and/or the temperature of the gas


Does temperature of a gas increase or decrease under pressure?

If a gas is pressurised then the temperature will increase.


What effect does an increase in temperature have on a gas's volume and pressure?

As indicated by the Ideal Gas Laws, increasing temperature will tend to increase both volume and pressure. Of course, volume can't always increase, that depends upon the flexibility or inflexibility of the container that the gas is in, and if the volume does increase that will counteract the increase in pressure that would otherwise have happened. Temperature, pressure, and volume are all interconnected in a gas.


When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?

No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.


What physically causes gas pressure and how can you increase the pressure of gas?

Gas pressure is caused by the gas molecules moving back and forth.You can increase the gas pressure by putting gas into a container with hard walls, i.e. not flexible as in a balloon, and doing one or more of the following:Increasing the amount of gas (pumping gas in)Increasing the temperatureReducing the volume (as in a piston)For more details, read about the "ideal gas law".

Increase the pressure of a gas by?

Both compressing and heating a gas will increase its pressure.


How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?

If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.


Is a gas's solubility faster in a high pressure liquid?

If the pressure of the gas increase, the solubility in a liquid increase.


How does the decreasing the gas volume affect the pressure of a gas?

The pressure increase.


How do you increase the volume of gas?

To increase the volume of a gas * reduce the pressure, or * increase the temperature, or * add more gas


Describe the changes in gas pressure?

The increase in solubility causes increase in pressure.


What As a temperature of a fixed volume of a gas increases the pressure will?

Pressure will be decreased


What happens to the pressure of the gas if the temperature of the gas is increased?

The pressure of a gas increases with an increase in temperature.


What happens to the pressure of gas if the temperature of the gas is increased?

The pressure of a gas increases with an increase in temperature.


What happens to gas when the pressure is decreased?

The pressure will increase.


Does increases in pressure increase the compressibility of liquids?

No,an increase in pressure in liquid does not increase it compressibility but it does in gas:-P


What is the solubility when the pressure of the gas in increased to 288 kPa?

When the pressure increase the solubility increase.
