Deep sea fish die when brought to the surface. (The pressure decreases as the fish are brought to the surface, so the volume of gases in their bodies increases, and pops bladders, cells, and membranes). Pushing in the plunger of a plugged-up syringe decreases the volume of air trapped under the plunger.

In general, gases can be liquefied by one of three general methods: (1) by compressing the gas at temperatures less than its critical temperature; (2) by making the gas do some kind of work against an external force, causing the gas to lose energy and change to the liquid state; and (3) by making gas do work against ...

The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

Store, handle and use compressed gas cylinders securely fastened in place in the upright position. Never roll, drag, or drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other. Move cylinders in handcarts or other devices designed for moving cylinders.

Gases Under Pressure are gases which are contained in a receptacle (container) at a pressure of 200 kPa (kilopascals) or 29 psi (pounds square inch gauge) or more, or which are liquefied or liquefied and refrigerated. This includes compressed gases, liquefied gases, dissolved gases, and refrigerated liquefied gases.

['gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.', 'liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.', 'solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.']

The pressure (P) of gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas when we hold temperature and volume of gas constant. This means that the pressure of gas will increase as the amount of gas molecules increase inside a container with a fixed volume and at a fixed temperature.

The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law). Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules (Avogadro's law).

1) Ideal gas obeys all gas laws under all conditions of temperature and pressure. 1) Real gas obeys gas laws at low pressure and high temperature. 2) The volume occupied by the molecules is negligible as compared to total volume.

Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant.

Because the molecules are in motion, a gas will expand to fill the container. Since density is defined to be the mass divided by the volume, density depends directly on the size of the container in which a fixed mass of gas is confined.

Temperature, pressure, volume and the amount of a gas influence its pressure.

First, the combined gas law assumes you are taking a sample of a gas at one set of conditions and changing P , V , or T . ... The ideal gas law doesn't need this restriction. The ideal gas law can also be used to determine the density of a gas, something that the combined gas law can't do.

A gas can be liquefied by cooling and compressing. During cooling, the temperature of the gas is lowered and during compression, the pressure on the gas is increased.

Boyle's law Decreasing the volume of a gas increases the pressure of the gas. ... Because the volume has decreased, the particles will collide more frequently with the walls of the container. Each time they collide with the walls they exert a force on them.

Charles' Law Formula and Explanation Charles' Law is a special case of the ideal gas law. It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature. This law applies to ideal gases held at a constant pressure, where only the volume and temperature are allowed to change.

Concept Overview: The kinetic molecular theory of gases is stated in the following four principles: The space between gas molecules is much larger than the molecules themselves. Gas molecules are in constant random motion. The average kinetic energy is determined solely by the temperature.
