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.

Well, if it is a sealed rigid container and too much gas is pumped in the pressure inside the container might exceed the pressure rating of the sealed container. The tensile stress caused by the high pressure inside the tank will cause it to rupture.

Why will a container of has explode if it is heated?
because of the presssue
What occurs when a rigid container of gas is heated?
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.
What happens when a gas is heated beyond 100 degrees?
Heating will cause the gas to expand; or, if the container does not permit expansion, for the pressure of the gas to increase. Other changes to the gas depend on which gas is being heated.
What happens to gas ina container when it is heated?
The gas molecules receive kinetic energy and start to vibrate
Will a can of beans explode under heat?
Any sealed container that is exposed to high heat can explode. Unopened cans and jars should never be heated. They need to be opened before heating.

Why does the warning do not incinerate is needed on aerosol containers?
The container will explode when heated.
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.
Why will a container of gas explode if it is heated?
heat causes pressure, pressure causes friction, friction causes spark, spark causes KABOOM! all in a split second
How does the pressure of an enclose gas in a rigid container change when the gas is heated?
It doesn't change

How do aerosol cans explode when heated?
Any pressurized container will "explode" when heated to a high enough temperature. The gas inside expands when heated increasing the pressure inside the container until the container cannot hold it any more and fails (ruptures). The contents of the can may be a flammable liquid that is vaporized by the heat and loss of containment. This gas may ignite causing an explosion or flash fire. This is known as a BLEVE, a Boiling Liquid/Expanding Vapor Explosion. Additionally, the plastic components of the aerosol can valve can fail under high temperature, as when the can is tossed into a fire, allowing a jet of liquid to come out of the can. This may not cause the can wall to rupture, but if the product or the propellant are flammable, it can still result in a fireball.

What would result from increasing the temperature of a gas in a container that cannot expand would it explode or stay solitary?
Either the container would explode or the pressure would just keep increasing until the temperature stopped increasing
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.
