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 temperature
- Reducing the volume (as in a piston)
For more details, read about the "ideal gas law".

How does increasing the density of a gas causes the pressure to increase?
The obvious answer is that the more there is the more there is. More molecules more density, more pressure inside the vessel.
What causes gas to have pressure?
The number and vibration of the molecules that make up the gas cause the pressure.
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
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.
Describe the changes in gas pressure?
The increase in solubility causes increase in pressure.
What causes a pressure in a gas?
Heat. The addition of heat causes expansion and spreading of the molecules which in turn causes an increase in pressure.
In a pressure chamber filled with gas above a liquid solution a decrease in volume causes?
AN increase n pressure, an increase in gas concentration in the solution
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.
How is the pressure affected by the collision of gas particles?
The more the collisons the higher the pressure, the lesser amount of collisons the lower the pressure.
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.
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a close the rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?
If temperature increases, either the volume or the pressure must increase. Since you have limited the volume by closing the container, pressure must increase.
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 increasing the density of a gas causes the pressure to increase?
The obvious answer is that the more there is the more there is. More molecules more density, more pressure inside the vessel.
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in closed rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?
Because the pressure increases The real answer is: Charles's Law. He found that if you increase the temperature of a constant pressure the volume increases also.
How does the decreasing the gas volume affect the pressure of a gas?
The pressure increase.
