Pressure and Volume are indirectly propotional to each others. if you increase the Area the pressure will be decresed, and if you decrease the area of the applied pressure, the pressure will be automatically increased, Hence. Pressure if Indirectly propotional to Area.

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases). As pressure increases and the density increases, the relationship becomes a bit more complex. Increasing pressure will still decrease the volume but it becomes less proportional. If you are at a temperature below the critical point, at some point the pressure will become high enough to cause condensation of a gas to a liquid, or if you are cold enough, the precipitation of the gas as a solid (the reverse of sublimation). In these cases the relationship between pressure and volume has a discontinuity as the phase change occurs at constant pressure.

That depends on the substance. In ideal gases, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. That is, twice the pressure means half the volume. Commonly, real gases are similar to an "ideal gas". Liquids and solids hardly change their volume if the pressure changes.
what is the relationship between the volume of air and pressure
consider some area(some volume) containing some air molecule, if we are reducing the area of container(ie,volume) keeping the air molecule donot change in concentration/amount. then we can say that now the presure is larger than first case.
42, the answer is always 42

That depends on the material in that space. A rough approximation would be to assume the gas is ideal, in which case you can use the Ideal Gas Equation, PV=nRT. This equation is most accurate at low pressure and high temperature. To accurately calculate the correlation for a real gas requires cubic equations of state such as the Redlich-Kwong equation or others.

Since there is no mass transfer and it is a closed system (constant moles, n) then you can set (P1)(V1)/(T1) = (P2)(V2)/(T2).

Volume is directly proportional to temperature in a closed system , given the pressure is kept constant.

Provided the temperature remains constant, volume and pressure are inversely related.

How the volume of a gas will change if the pressure on it is made less?

For a gas, pressure and volume are inversely related. If pressure decreases, volume will increase.


How are gas volume and gas pressure related?

PV=RT, Pressure and Volume are inversely related, P=K/T.


How does temperature effect a volume air?

Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.

Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.


What is related to density?

Density = mass/volume so it is related to mass and volume. And Volume is related to temperature and pressure, so it is related to those as well.


What happens to the pressure as the volume changes?

Pressure will decrease with (because it is inversely proportianal to) volume, if (and only if!) temperature is held constant.


What describes how pressure affects volume?

Ideal gas law. At a fixed temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely related. PV=mRT


Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?

According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.


How does pressure affect volume?

With the ideal gas law PV=nRT, if n (number of molecules, R(gas constant) and T (temperature) are fixed, then the product of P (pressure) and V (volume) is also constant. So. Pressure and Volume are inversely related. If pressure goes up, volume must go down and if pressure goes down, volume must increase. The same goes with increasing or decreasing volume.
