If the volume of the cylinder is reduced from 8.0 liters to 4.0 liters what should be the pressure of the gas in the cylinder?
If the volume is reduced, and all else remains the same, then the pressure will increase by a factor of 2, or it will double.
Is piston cylinder process is constant pressure process or constan volume process?
A piston cylinder process actually includes two processes. The gas inside the piston undergoes both the constant pressure process and the contant volume process.
How do you find mass and density of the gas cylinder?
That all depends on the type of gas and volume given for the problem. We can't determine the mass and density of the gas cylinder if we are not given these info, which can also include pressure (because density varies based on that variable).
The volume V of a gas varies inversely with the pressure P What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure is tripled?
The equation is P1V1=P2V2. (P1 is pressure before the change, P2 is the pressure after, V1 is the volume before the change, and V2 is the volume after it.) So to solve it, it would be the same change no matter how much the volume and pressure were to begin with. The values are P1= 1 atmosphere (the pressure of air at sea level) V1= 1 Liter which would mean P2=3 atmospheres 1*1=3(V2) 1/3 Liter= V2. So the volume would be one third of what it was before the pressure was tripled.
The volume of a gas depends upon its?
density, temperature and pressure
What happens to the volume of a gas inside a cylinder the temperature does not change but the pressure is reduced?
Assuming your cylinder is fixed and has something like a piston allowing for potential movement, the volume will remain the same. The gas will become less densed, as with pressure its more dense.
What happens if a piston is used to decrease the volume of a contained gas?
The volume will increase as the piston moves downward. If the cylinder is sealed and the gas can not escape, the pressure in the cylinder will decrease. If the cylinder has a small opening as in a motor, the higher pressure outside will push in air that will mix with fuel to ignite when the spark plug is fired. (Supv note: it is not possible to have negative pressure. You can have zero pressure but not a deficit.)
What happens to the volume of gas when pressure doubles?
The volume is halved
What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure double?
the volume doubles
What happens to a volume of a gas when the pressure doubles?
the volume doubles
What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?
Volume decrease.
What happens to gas pressure when the volume is decreased?
The pressure will increase.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant pressure what happens?
Volume increases
If the temperature of a gas is decreased at a constant pressure what happens to its volume?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when a pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when the pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
