The pressure produced by a vapor (gas) is a result of the collisions of the gas molecules with the sides of the container.
Equilibrium vapor pressure
increases......
3340 mm Hg
Gas pressure decreases when cooling down a closed container.
The particles will gain kinetic energy and will move faster in the closed container. This will increase the number of collisions they make with the walls of the container, thus increasing the pressure.
vapor pressure
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
if you have a closed bottle or can, etc. , of water and you heat it up to a high enough temperature, then pressure builds up, right? Well if the container is filled with water then the pressure will build up faster, causing the container to burst, but if the container is only filled maybe halfway, it will take a little longer for the pressure to build up enough to cause the container to burst.
the particles of gas bouncing into the walls of the container.
vurtually no molecules will be in the container... and great force will be put on the walls of the container
small container
A decrease will occur if the lid of the container is opened.
increases......
3340 mm Hg
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
collisions between the particles of gas and the container walls
collisions between the particles of gas and the container walls
Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.
