What do gases in Earth's atmosphere exert on everything?

Pressure


In which direction does gases exert pressures?

All directions equally. Think of how a balloon blows up..... It expands with equal force all across the area of the balloon.


Is the pressure exerted by different gases different?

yes because different gases have different mass and they will exert more of less pressure according to their mass


What are the 6 characteristics of gas?

Gases have no shape; Gases have no volume; are compressible; diffuse rapidly; have low density; and exert pressure.


What equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure have equal?

The number of moles is equal.


Why does dry gas exert more pressure than moist gas?

I wonder who said it did. Did he realise that some gases might weigh more than the water which is contained in moist gases?


Just like gases water can also exert pressure. If there's a structural problem on a submarine the submarine is likely to be crushed as it descends.?

False


Do gases exert pressure?

Yes. Any sample of gas in a closed container will exert pressure on the container, as long as the temperature of the gas is above absolute zero. You can force the gas into a smaller volume by shrinking the container, but that action raises the temperature and pressure of the gas.


What is Avogadros Theory?

Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. :)


Just like gases water can also exert pressure. If there's a structural problem on a submarine the submarine is likely to explode as it descends.?

true


How will you explain the fact that gases exert pressure on all surfaces of the container?

Atoms in a gas move about randomly, and some will bounce against every surface of the container.
