When steaming something covered with a lid, over the stove, and you lift the lid, there is condensation....the gas turns back into a liquid. Same would happen in the above named situation. It would turn back into it's original state...liquid.

When a liquid is heated the molecules gain more kinetic energy and move faster. If they gain enough energy they can break the van der waal bonds (intermolecular bonds) between the molecules and become gas particles (evaporation). When a liquid is cooled the molecules loose kinetic energy and move slower. If a liquid is cooled enough stronger bonds are formed between the molecules and a solid is form (solidification)
The number of liquid molecules vaporizing equals

the number of vapor molecules condensing

The gas molecules receive energy and start to vibrate. The pressure within the container increases. The container could explode.

The pressure is reduced inside the container (see collapsing can experiment) - if cool enough the gas will condensate or even freeze.

The steam builds up pressure and once it reaches a certain point, the lid blows off.

Heating lead to an increase of pressure.
Cooling lead to a decrease of pressure.

Explain what happens to a gas when it is put into a container?

The gas particles will spread out to encompass the entire volume of the container. The particles are constantly in motion and will run into the walls of the container creating pressure (basically). If heated, the particles will move faster, and slower if cooled.


What happens to gases as they are heated or cooled?

they tend to vibrate


What happens to the speed of gas when heated?

The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.


When a container of gas is cooled what happens to the gas inside?

Gas pressure decreases when cooling down a closed container.


What happens to gas ina container when it is heated?

What happens when a gas is heated beyond 100 degrees?

Heating will cause the gas to expand; or, if the container does not permit expansion, for the pressure of the gas to increase. Other changes to the gas depend on which gas is being heated.


Why heated gas become lighter?

because..................................................................................................................... density of heated gas is lower than cooled gas.


What happens to the size of a particle in a sample when liquid is heated in a closed container until it change to Gas?

evaporate


When a sample of gas is cooled in a closed container the pressure inside the container?

increases......


Why does a gass expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When a gas is heated up, the particles within the gas start to move faster, going farther apart (expansion). When a gas is cooled, the particles slow down and it starts to condense (contract), and if cooled enough, into a liquid.


What happens to gas in a balloon when that gas is heated?

The gas will expand as it is heated.


What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?

If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.
