The thermal motion of the gas atoms/molecules hitting the walls of the container, and bouncing off. (just like when you throw a ball at a wall. If millions of people were throwing balls you would knock the wall over)

An instrument used to measure the pressure of gases in closed containers is a?
Manometer
Why do beverage bottlers close containers of carbonated beverages under pressure?
to increase the amount of gases in the beverage
What is the unique quality of gases in relationship to volume?
A gas will expand to fill up any volume available to it. Think of rigid containers that will not change shape or volume. If you have 10 completely empty containers that can be connected. Inside each is a vacuum. Place some gas in the first container. It completely fills the container and creates some pressure. Connect a second container and some of the gas leaves the first container, but not all of the gas. The gas will completely fill both containers, but creating less pressure. Continue connecting containers, and the same appens every time. The gas completely fills every container that is connected and the pressure 'adjusts' on its own to reach a new equilibrium pressure.
What gas does volcanoes produce?
the gasses were dissolved in the lava until the pressure was released near the surface.
How does pressure affect the solubility of gases in liquids?
Increasing the pressure, the solubility of gases in liquids is increased.

Which state changes produce a vapor pressure?
Conversion of liquid to gases state

Why do gases take the shape of their containers?
ffhghgdhhdghdh
What changes shape and volume when you change containers?
Gases do that.
Why can gases be compressed easily?
they take the form of their containers
Can you twist balloons with gases in them because gases have no fixed shape?
yes because all air is formable and moldable depending on the pressure inside of the balloon if there is to much pressure it will pop im in 6th grade
What instrument measures gases in closed containers?
On 2 aspects, 1. A pressure sensor, can link to amount of gas formed, and a GC autosampler can work for qualitation, or quantitation
What would happen if you put a balloon in the sun?
It would expand as the gases inside expand against the pressure of the skin of the balloon and the atmospheric pressure.
What are the main purpose of pressure vessels?
The main purpose of a pressure vessel is to hold gases or liquids at a pressure inside a container different to the pressure outside of the pressure vessel. Usually pressure vessels are made from steel.
Why gases can be compressed very easily?
they take the form of their containers
