What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air when the temperature increases?

When the temperature of a sample of air increases, the partial pressure of oxygen also increases.


What are the effects of temperature and volume of gas samples at constant pressure?

If the volume is constant, the density does not change with temperature. With increasing temperature there is still the same number of molecules confined to the same volume of space, so no difference in density.


The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature is given by?

P V = n R TThe product of (pressure) x (volume) is directly proportional to absolute temperature.So at constant temperature, they have to be inversely proportional to each other.In other words, if, at constant temperature, you increase either the pressure orthe volume of a sample of gas, the other one must decrease by the same factor.


If the temperature of a fixed amount of gas is increased at a constant pressure what will happen to a volume?

Volume will increase. Think of it this way. If you heat a gas, it gets hotter. When a gas gets hotter, the atoms/molecules are "more active" and the pressure and/or the volume will go up. If your experiment with heating this gas sample must have a constant pressure, then volume will have to increase to give all those "more active" atoms/molecules more play room to prevent the pressure from going up.


What is the formula for gay lussacs law?

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a sample of gas at constant volume, is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. The P's represent pressure, while the T's represent temperature in Kelvin. P1 / T1 = constant After the change in pressure and temperature, P2 / T2 = constant Combine the two equations: P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 When any three of the four quantities in the equation are known, the fourth can be calculated. For example, we've known P1, T1 and P2, the T2 can be: T2 = P2 x T1 / P1

When a fixed sample of gas increases in volume what happens to the pressure and temperature?

The frequency of collisions is reduced


If a fixed sample of gas increases in temperature it must also do what?

If a fixed volume of gas increases in temperature, it must increase in volume. If the gas is in a closed system, the pressure inside that system increases instead. When the gas increases in volume, it also decreases in pressure, often rising above colder, more dense gas if possible.


When a fixed sample of gas increases in volume?

When a fixed sample of gas increases in volume, its pressure decreases because the gas particles have more space to move around, resulting in fewer collisions with the container walls. The temperature of the gas typically remains constant.


When a sample of gas is cooled in a closed container the pressure inside the container?

decreases as the temperature of the gas decreases. This relationship is explained by the ideal gas law, which states that pressure is inversely proportional to temperature when volume and amount of gas are constant.


How are pressure and volume related in boyles law?

Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased the volume of a gas decreases. P x V is a constant at constant Temperature Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2


What will happen if the pressure on a sample of gas is raised three times and it's temperature is kept constant?

If the pressure on a sample of gas is raised three times and the temperature is kept constant, according to Boyle's Law, the volume of the gas will decrease proportionally to maintain a constant temperature. This means the gas will be compressed and occupy a smaller volume.


What does Boyle's law say about the relationship between pressure and volume of gas?

Boyle's law describes the fact that, at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a particular sample of gas are inversely proportional. As one quantity increases, the other decreases, and vica versa.


A gas sample is held at constant temperature. What happens to the pressure of the sample if the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled?

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled while the temperature is held constant, the pressure of the gas sample will remain the same. This is because both the volume and the number of molecules increased by the same factor, resulting in no net change in pressure according to the ideal gas law.


What will happen if the pressure on a sample of gas is raised three times and its temperature is kept constant?

The volume become one third.


When a sample of gas is heated at constant pressure the average kinetic energy of its molecules?

KEavg = 3/2RT Just need to know the temperature, T. ( in Kelvin ) R is a constant.


When a sample of gas is compressed from 6.0 L to 2.0 L at a constant temperature the pressure of the gas doubles.?

Are you stating or asking ? If that's a statement, then it's an incorrect one. At constant temperature, the product of (pressure) x (volume) is constant. So, if the volume changed by a factor of 3, the pressure must also change by a factor of 3 ... the pressure must triple.
