You have several options, including:
- Increase the temperature of the gas, keeping the volume and mass of gas constant.
- Decrease the volume of the tank (e.g. with a piston), keeping the temperature and mass of gas constant.
- Add more gas to the tank, keeping the volume and temperature constant.

What would decrease the pressure inside a tank of helium gas?
decrease the temperature or increase the volume
What would heating a glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
What is the pressure of helium?
The pressure that there would be if all the non-helium atoms and molecules were taken away.
Why is it when you drive a car on a hot road the pressure in your tires increase?
Due to friction heat is produced and this heat would increase the pressure of air or gas inside the tyre
What would happen to filtration rate if you were to apply pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase
What would decrease the pressure inside a tank of helium gas?
decrease the temperature or increase the volume
What would heating a glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
What would heating a sealed glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
How would the pressure inside a scuba tank filled with gas change if the tank were heated?
The pressure will increase
What is the partial pressure of helium?
The pressure that there would be if all the non-helium atoms and molecules were taken away.
What is the pressure of helium?
The pressure that there would be if all the non-helium atoms and molecules were taken away.
If the air inside a balloon is heated the volume will?
The volume would increase as the pressure of the expanding air increases.
When would less helium be needed to fill a balloon?
The lower the atmospheric pressure, the less helium is needed.
If you wanted to increase pressure inside of a sealed Zip Loc bag what three things could you do?
Without breaking the seal or puncturing the bag, there is only one thing that would increase the pressure - warming it up.
Why is it when you drive a car on a hot road the pressure in your tires increase?
Due to friction heat is produced and this heat would increase the pressure of air or gas inside the tyre
What changes in air pressure would you expect if you carried barometer down a mineshaft?
the air pressure would increase because the amount of atmosphere above you increases
What is helium flash?
A helium flash occurs because the core of the star is in what is known as a "degenerate" state. This means that the core has contracted so much that the pressure of the electron shells of the atoms making up the core prevent the core from contracting further. Under normal gas conditions (i.e. NOT a degenerate state), an increase in the temperature of the core would cause an increase in core pressure resulting in the core expanding and the temperature then dropping. This state is known as hydrostatic equilibrium. With a degenerate core, the temperature increases but the pressure doesn't. This extra energy ignites the helium creating run-away nuclear reactions. This is what is referred to as a "helium flash."
