Explain how a change in temperature affects the pressure inside a container?

On an atomic scale, atoms are constantly vibrating. This vibration along with the electronic orbitals of the atom limit the minimum distance between two atoms. With increase in temperature the amplitude of this vibration increases. This leads to an increase in the minimum distance. This increase in the minimum distance manifests itself as an increase in the volume at a macroscopic scale.

∙ 11y agoIncreasing temperature will cause the pressure to increase.
This is because increasing the temperature will cause the gas particles to move faster. Since they are moving faster they will collide with the walls of the container more often (and with a larger force). Pressure is a result of these collisions with the walls of the container. The more collisions the higher the pressure.

Which is not a factor that affects the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
A. temperature B. volume C. number of particles D. size of particles
What affects viscosity?
temperature, pressure and force, and molecular strucuture
What affects the solubility of a substance in water?
temperature, pressure, presence of other chemical species (for the same solute and the same solvent)
What factor besides the temperature affects the boiling point of water?
Air pressure also affects the boiling point of water. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point.

How temperature affects pressure?
as pressure increases, temperature increases
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.

temperature, pressure and force, and molecular strucuture
What are two factors that affects the solubility of a substance?
Temperature and pressure.

If there was 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot how much volume would 1lb of helium gas occupy?
That depends on the pressure inside the container. You can cram 1 lb of helium into any container, as small as you want. On the other hand, it'll always spread out and fill any container you put it in, no matter how large. So if you want to know how much volume a sample of helium will fill, you have to specify the pressure. By the way ... the temperature also affects the pressure of a gas, so you have to specify the temperature too.
What factor affects the density of sea water?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
What factors affects pressure?
There are two factors that affect gas pressure. These factors are temperature and volume. Higher volume means lower pressure. Higher temperature means higher pressure.
What a affects water evaporation?
Some factors are: temperature, pressure, stirring, etc.

The less air pressure, the farther the baseball goes. Hence, Denver....
Why should you check your tires when the temperature changes?
temperature affects air pressure when it is cold air pressure decreases when it gets warm air pressures rises
