Given that the container is "rigid" the size of the container holding the gas cannot change. Since the volume of the container remains constant, so too does the volume of the gas. The pressure however will increase.

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.


What happens when gas particles heats up and the temperature rises?

They will attempt to move apart. The effect of this on the gas contained therein depends on how rigid your container is. If you have a real flexible container like a balloon, the gas will increase in volume. If it's a rigid container like a gas cylinder, the pressure will go up.

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.


Is it true In a rigid container when the speed of the gas molecules increases the speed of the gas also increases?

It is true that, in a rigid container, when the speed of the gas molecules increases, the temperature of the gas rises. This has nothing to do with the speed or lack of speed of the gas as a whole.


In a rigid container as the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure of the gas will decrease.?

Yes, it is true.


When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?

No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.


In a rigid container as the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure of the gas will decrease true or false?

False


How do conditions change inside a rigid container when you use a pump to add gas to the container?

Rigid container implies the volume stays constant. The pressure will increase, and if the container is well insulated, the temperature may also increase.


How does the pressure of an inclosed gas in a rigid container change when the gas is heated?

As you heat any matter you increase the kinetic energy the particles of that matter have. An increase in kinetic energy means that the particles move more and take up more space. This is manifested as an increase in pressure for gases in an enclosed container.
