If One kg of air is compressed from 1 m3 to 0.5 what happens to density?

Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. Assuming no air leaks out while we compress it, the mass doesn't change. Since the volume is now half as much as before and the mass is the same, the density has doubled.

What happens to air pressure when density decreases?
density decreases as air pressure increases
What happens in the density of the air as you ascend in the atmosphere?
It decreases
What is the purpose of the intercooler?
An intercooler is used on a turbocharged (or supercharged) engine. Assuming you have a turbo diesel: The turbo compresses air to get more air into your engine. More air + more fuel = more power. The air heats up as it is compressed, reducing it's density. An intercooler chills the air, increasing its density allowing for greater power to be generated.
What happens to air during a cold front?
When air is cooled , its density increases .
What happens to air when it sink?
When a parcel of air is forced downward, atmospheric pressure increases, causing the air to become compressed and therefore the temperature is also raised.
What happens to air when it is compressed or allow to expand?
It cools, and when it is compressed, it warms
How does the density of the air change in the Cartesian Diver experiment?
As the "diver" descends, air density inside the diver's capsule increases as it is compressed.
What happens when a compressed air can gets hot?
tae
What happens to air pressure when density decreases?
density decreases as air pressure increases
Is compressed air more buoyant than atmospheric air?
Since weight is the measure of an object's gravitational pull, the compressed air does not weigh more. The difference is in the density of the air. A tank filled with compressed air will weigh more than a tank that is filled with air at normal atmospheric pressure.
What happens to the density of air as you increases in altitude?
the density decreases
What happens to air when air compresses?
When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules
What happens to the density of air molecules as you increase in altitude?
the density decreases
When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?
Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air
By how much does the density of air increase when it is compressed to half its volume?
Density is inversely proportional to volume. If volume changes to half, density doubles. The substance doesn't matter.
What happens when air is compressed?
When air particles are compressed, the density is increased. There is more pressure within a region or within a container. There are more molecules in a given volume, and this can cause the air to heat up. - The pressure of the air increases, as does its temperature, as its volume decreases.
What happens to density at higher altitudes?
The density of air decreases at higher altitudes.
