What will happen if the lid is remove from a container that holds helium gas?

It will escape


A thi rubber ball shaped container of gas?

it's a balloon


What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?

The pressure in a container is due to the particles of the gas hitting the inside walls of the container.


Will a balloon with argon gas sink faster then a balloon with krypton gas?

The balloon with krypton gas has a higher density than the balloon with argon gas.


Why does a gas vessel fill completely?

Because gas molecules have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces between the molecules. The gas molecules are traveling in all sorts of directions, so they naturally will fill a container. In essence if the container isn't closed gas particles that find their direction to be towards the hole will then escape. They will continue to escape until the system reaches equilibrium and the amount of gas incoming to the container equals the amount of gas escaping.

How do you lower the density of the hydrogen gas?

You can lower the density of hydrogen (or any) gas by heating it in a container where it is free to expand, like a balloon.

If the temperature remains constant what will happen to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the volume of the container that holds the gas Explain?

The pressure of the gas would rise. Explain? OK, Blow up a balloon and tie the end. Decrease volume of the container (step on balloon). Balloon explodes (Pressure rose)


Why would heating the gas inan air balloon make the balloon rise?

because as you heat the gas, you cause the gas to expand on the container (whish is a balloon), this lowers the density, and a less dense fluid submersed in a denser fluid will rise, like an air bubble rises from underwater


Does gas keep the shape of its container?

Depends on the strength of the container. A balloon, for instance, won't keep it's shape but a glass jar can within proportion. See Boyle's Law. I oppose gas does not keep the shape of anything that has yet to be inviented

What determines the shape a volume of a gas inside a container?

The shape of the gas is determined by the shape of the container (assuming that there is enough gas to fill the container). The volume of the gas is determined by the volume of the container (again assuming that there is enough gas present to fill the container.). When a gas is introduced into any container, it will assume the size and shape of the container if the container is filled. The exception to this rule might be if the pressure of the gas introduced is great enough to influence the shape of the container (i.e. blowing up a balloon).


When gas in a container expand to twice its volume at constant temperature the gas pressure does what?

The pressure increases. Hopefully, the container is strong enough to withstand the increased pressure. If there is a weakness in the container, gas will escape as a leak.


Is it possible for an oblect to have a large volume and a small mass?

Yes. An example of this is when a gas completely fills its container, like when you blow up a balloon or beach ball.


Ideal gas law to explain why a hot air balloon floats?

We know from the ideal gas laws that when you heat a gas under constant pressure, it will expand. (In a hot air balloon, the air that is heated is not in a rigid container, but in a balloon that expands with the expanding gas; the pressure it is under is only the atmospheric pressure.) The expanded gas will then have a lower density and will therefore be bouyant in air, and therefore able to lift a balloon.
