A good example of this would be a hot air baloon. When you heat the air (gas) inside, the molecules spred out, move faster and overall the whole quantity gets less dense, and moves up through the cooler air outside.

Gas expands under heat so the pressure would rise when a sealed gallon can is heated.

Why do tin cans get crushed if cooled after heated and closing is mouth?

Assuming the can can be sealed. When the can is heated the air inside it expands. If the can is then sealed and allowed to cool the air inside contracts which causes the pressure inside to drop. Because the outside air pressure is now greater it crushes the can.

What will happen if a glass of bottle filled with a liquid sealed tightly and heated?

If heated to and above boiling point the pressure in the bottle would begin to rise. Depending on how much it is heated it might either stay like that, or the increased pressure might cause the bottle to burst.

How do seawater boils at 45 degree centigrade?

It wouldn't, unless you put it in a sealed and heated vessel and pumped most of the air out, creating a really low pressure..


Is the volume occupied by the gas in the flask approxmately the same greater or less than before it was heated?

Assuming the flask is sealed - the volume remains the same but the pressure increases

Explain why an aerosol can should never be thrown into a fireplace or incinerator?

It will explode with considerable force, causing death and injury. The pressure in the sealed can rises when heated. When it is high enough, the can ruptures.


What makes popcorn really pop?

Each kernel has a little moisture in it. When the moisture is heated and boils, since the kernel is sealed, it explodes under pressure from the boiling moisture which has no where to go.


If a tin is filled with hot water and sealed then covered with cold water What causes the tin to become dented?

The outside air pressure dents the tin. The water or air inside a sealed metal container will contract when cooled from the outside (by conduction through the can). When it was sealed, the pressure on the inside was the same as on the outside. But the contraction reduces the pressure on the inside, causing the external air pressure to squeeze the can, and possibly cave it in. This is widely demonstrated in another experiment using dry ice. A sealed gasoline can of about a gallon (4 liters) is placed on a dry-ice bed and cooled until the outside air pressure crushes the can.


Why will a container of gas explode when heated?

Increasing the number of moles of gas, decreasing the volume of the container, or iIncreasing the temperature could cause a rigid container of gas to explode.
