It may stay there almost indefinitely, if the container has no leaks.

When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?

No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.


How is solid different from gas?

Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.


What happens when gas is put in a container?

It diffuses equally throughout the container so that the concentration of that gas is equal throughout it as long as the lid is on.

What between the particles of a gas and the walls of the container cause pressure In a close container of gas?

Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.


Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?

A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.


Do gases exert pressure?

Yes. Any sample of gas in a closed container will exert pressure on the container, as long as the temperature of the gas is above absolute zero. You can force the gas into a smaller volume by shrinking the container, but that action raises the temperature and pressure of the gas.
