What is the pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a water vapor with the walls of a container?
Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.
What does pressure have to do with speed of particles?
Basically, pressure is just a way to quantify the overall effect of many particles colliding with the side of a container. Each collision of particle and container transfers a force into the container. When particles have a higher speed they cause more acceleration and therefore more force into the container. Since pressure is the force per unit area, when the force increases, so does the pressure. So basically, the higher the particle speed, the higher the pressure.
What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
Why will a container of gas explode when heated?
Increasing the number of moles of gas, decreasing the volume of the container, or iIncreasing the temperature could cause a rigid container of gas to explode.
What will cause a decrease in pressure in a closed container?
A decrease will occur if the lid of the container is opened.

What causes gas to have pressure?
The number and vibration of the molecules that make up the gas cause the pressure.
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What 3 factors affect the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
The mass of the gass, the volume of the container holding the gas, and the temperature of the gass. If you have a container of gas, the greater the mass of the gas, the more molecules there are in the container, and this leads to greater pressure. If you have a fixed mass of gas, changing the volume of the container holding the gas will cause the pressure to change. Increasing the volume of the container decreases the pressure. Decreasing the volume of the container increases the pressure. If you increase the temperature of a gas without changing its mass or volume, pressure increases.
Which of the matter has no definite shape or volume?
gas has no definite shape or volume. pressure is the force exerted over a unit of area. gases cause pressure by the particles colliding with the walls of the container.
Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?
Yes, pressure in the liquid caused by its molecules constantly being in motion force it to take on the shape of its container (within limits).
What cause the pressure by gas molecules on their container?
What causes the pressure exerted by gas molecules on their container? idk
