Gas flows from one container into a larger one what happens to its pressure?

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

∙ 6y agoPerhaps the simplest answer is to refer to the ideal gas law
PV=nRT
where
P is pressure
V is volume
n is the number of moles of gas - which is proportional to the mass of the gas
R is the "Rankine" or Ideal Gas constant
T is temperature
If you increase the volume, the pressure has to drop unless you change the amount of gas or change the temperature.
In broader terms, the pressure will drop because the pressure is related to the number of molecules banging on a surface per unit area. If you spread them out by moving the gas from a smaller container to a larger container, there will still be the same number of molecules of gas BUT they will be banging on a bigger area, hence a lower pressure.

When gas pressure is passed from small container to larger one , while passing from large to small , some amount of gas mixes with air . Then the remaining gas in big container has very low pressure because the volume of big container is more.

Is a solid like a container?
Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.
What the thing that cause inhalation?
As your diaphragm or intercoastal muscles contract the size of the lungs increases. This creates a pressure difference between your lungs and the surrounding atmosphere. By increasing the size of the lungs you create a low pressure environment in the lungs by expanding the same amount of gas to a larger area. this pressure difference doesn't have to be much 1mmhg is more then enough, the main thing is just that you need a difference in preasure. Air flows from high preasure to low preasure, so by decreasing the preasure in the lungs air flows into the lungs. as you breath out you make the lungs smaller by relaxing the muscles and diaphragm, making the volume in the lungs decrease, thus increasing the preasure and moving the air from inside the lungs out to the surrounding atmosphere.
Why are liquids mobile?
liquid are mobile because the emptied spaces b/w them
What do you call a substance that flows?
A substance that flows is called "liquid".
How can gas fill a container of any size or shape?
it goes by the kind of car you use a t what brand gas was always used in it when u bought it. if you are buying a brand new car then u start it off of what kind of gas will be used and being that gas is a liquid it just flows in any kind of car hole because all cars have whole openings for gas. Personally I don't think the above person understood the question... A gas is able to fill a container because it has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces; now you have a container full of a gas.
What properties do air do have?
Air has pressure, has mas has volume.,Air takes the shape of its container, flows etc..............
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe what happens to its speed its pressure and the spacing between its streamlines?
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe the speed of gas is decreased and pressure become increased and the spacing between the streamlines less and the streamlines come very close to each other.
What happens to pressure and flow when a steadily flowing liquid flows from a small pipe to a large pipe?
you have a severe pressure drop and a loss of velocity

What does backwash do?
Backwash flows from your mouth back into the container you were drinking out of where it proceeds to mix with whatever amount of the original liquid is still in the container.
