What effect does increasing pressure have on gas particles? As gas particles become closer together, what happens to the volume of the gas?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the effects of increasing pressure on gas particles and the relationship between gas particle proximity and volume. It aims to address concepts in gas behavior in physics or chemistry.
Answer
Increasing pressure decreases gas volume as particles move closer together.
Increasing the pressure on a gas causes the gas particles to move closer together, which decreases the volume of the gas.
Answer for screen readers
Increasing the pressure on a gas causes the gas particles to move closer together, which decreases the volume of the gas.
More Information
This phenomenon is explained by Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant.
