If the temperature of a fixed amount of gas is increased at a constant pressure what will happen to a volume?

Volume will increase. Think of it this way. If you heat a gas, it gets hotter. When a gas gets hotter, the atoms/molecules are "more active" and the pressure and/or the volume will go up. If your experiment with heating this gas sample must have a constant pressure, then volume will have to increase to give all those "more active" atoms/molecules more play room to prevent the pressure from going up.


Is gauge pressure the same as absolute pressure?

No, gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.


What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure?

Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure.


What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure, and how do they affect the measurement of pressure in a system?

Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure. Gage pressure only considers the pressure above atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as well. This affects pressure measurements in a system because gage pressure readings will fluctuate with changes in atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure readings will remain constant regardless of atmospheric pressure changes.


What is the difference between vacuum pressure and gauge pressure?

Vacuum pressure is the pressure below atmospheric pressure, while gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure. Vacuum pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, while gauge pressure is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.

What is the Difference between an active earth pressure and passive earth pressure?

When the wall moves away from the backfill, the earth pressure on the wall decreases. This minimum pressure is called active earth pressure. On the other hand if the wall moves towards the backfill, the earth pressure increases. This maximum pressure is called passive earth pressure.

What are the three agents of metamorphism?

The three agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Heat causes recrystallization of minerals, pressure can deform rocks, and chemically active fluids can alter the mineral composition of rocks.


What is the Significance of atmospheric pressure?

The atmospheric pressure plays a huge role when determining the weather. If the pressure is high, winds will be more active.


The three agents of metamorphism are?

The three agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Heat is responsible for increasing temperature, pressure for increasing stress and confining pressure, and chemically active fluids for introducing new minerals through the process of metamorphism.


Why passive earth pressure is greater than active earth pressure?

The passive earth pressure occurs when when a wall or plane moves towards earth. This will create additional pressure where as in the case of active pressure wall moves away from earth and it will reduce the pressure on the wall. From the co-efficient of active earthpressure and passive earthpressure,i.e Ka = 1-sin( phi)/1+sin( phi) Kp = 1+sin( phi)/1-sin( phi where phi is the angle of internal friction of soil.
