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.

How does a fluid-filled thermometer works?
As the temperature of a fluid increases, its volume increases, and as the temperature decreases, its volume decreases. Since the liquid in a thermometer is in a closed container, the fluid rises when the temperature increases and lowers when the temperature decreases.
When temperature increases volume will do what?
It depends on the specific situation, but there is a general tendency for the volume to increase, as well.
Why does vapor pressure increase with an increase in temperature?
PV=nRT where P=pressure, V=volume, n=no. of moles, R=gas constant, T=temperature(K) since volume and the number of moles remain constant, they can be ignored and we can assume:- that P is proportional to T and thus if temperature is increased, pressure will also increase.
What 3 factors affect the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
The mass of the gass, the volume of the container holding the gas, and the temperature of the gass. If you have a container of gas, the greater the mass of the gas, the more molecules there are in the container, and this leads to greater pressure. If you have a fixed mass of gas, changing the volume of the container holding the gas will cause the pressure to change. Increasing the volume of the container decreases the pressure. Decreasing the volume of the container increases the pressure. If you increase the temperature of a gas without changing its mass or volume, pressure increases.
If a fixed sample of a gas increases in temperature at a constant pressure its volume does what?
Increases in direct proportion to the increase in temperature (on an absolute scale).
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a close the rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?
If temperature increases, either the volume or the pressure must increase. Since you have limited the volume by closing the container, pressure must increase.
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in closed rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?
Because the pressure increases The real answer is: Charles's Law. He found that if you increase the temperature of a constant pressure the volume increases also.
If the volume of a gas increases what happens to the temperature?
According to Charles' Law: Volume of a gas increases as temperature inceases. But if the gas is contained in a rigid container then the volumme cannot increase, but the pressure will.
Why an elevated temperature increases the pressure exerted to the inside of container?
In a closed system the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature (Gay-Lussac law).At higher temperature the volume tend to increase but in a container the volume is limited.
How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?
If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.
In a flexible containerwhen the temperature of a gas increases the volume of the gas will increase true or false?
true and false it will increase up to the limit that the container can flex then there will be a pressure increase
Does the volume of salty water increase when its temperature increases?
Yes, though it is slight, the volume increase is measurable when the temperature of salt water increases.
According to Charles law when the temperature of a gas increases in flexible container its?
its volume increases
As the temperature of a gas increases the volume of the gas must also increase to maintain constant pressure.?
That is correct. it's called Charles's law. it shows the connection between a gases temperature and its volume. in order to maintain constant pressure you must increase the volume of the container holding the gas if you increase the temperature of the gas.
How does Temperature increase with compression?
Kinetic theory in chemistry describes the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure; if you increase temperature, the pressure or volume will increase, if you decrease volume or increase pressure, temperature will increase. The theory examines the nature of an elastic gas with atoms or molecules moving around within a container colliding with each other and with the walls of the container; temperature is a measure of the collective average random kinetic energy, expressed both in mass and speed (rotation, translation, and vibration). It describes that as you compress the substance (decrease the volume), the density of its component molecules increases and the frequency with which they collide with the walls increases, hence the temperature (and/or pressure) goes up.
How will volume of a balloon change if pressure remains constant but temperature increases?
The volume will increase in proportion to the increase in absolute temperature.
