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.


What happens to the pressure of the gas in the container?

The pressure increases if the container gets smaller or the gas heats up. The pressure decreases if the container gets bigger or the gas cools off.


What cause the pressure by gas molecules on their container?

What causes the pressure exerted by gas molecules on their container? idk


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.


What determines the shape a volume of a gas inside a container?

The shape of the gas is determined by the shape of the container (assuming that there is enough gas to fill the container). The volume of the gas is determined by the volume of the container (again assuming that there is enough gas present to fill the container.). When a gas is introduced into any container, it will assume the size and shape of the container if the container is filled. The exception to this rule might be if the pressure of the gas introduced is great enough to influence the shape of the container (i.e. blowing up a balloon).


How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?

If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.


What happens to the gas pressure if the gas is released from a small container to a large container?

When you release it into the larger container the pressure reduces from the previous amount so the gas can completely fill the larger container.


When gas in a container expand to twice its volume at constant temperature the gas pressure does what?

The pressure increases. Hopefully, the container is strong enough to withstand the increased pressure. If there is a weakness in the container, gas will escape as a leak.


What is the pressure inside of a container when nitrogen gas is added?

The pressure inside of a container when nitrogen gas is added depends on:what the pressure was before the gas was addedhow big the container ishow much nitrogen gas is addedthe temperature of the gas before it is addedthe temperature of the container and its contents


Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?

it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.


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 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.
