Would a sample of gas in a closed container in space exert pressure on the sides of the container if the gas was kept at standard temperature and pressure?

Even if the pressure inside a container is equal to the pressure outside a container, there is still pressure. It's like pushing a friend one way while he pushes you back. Neither of you may be moving, but you're still pushing.
The sample of gas would exert exactly one atmosphere of pressure (or 100 kPa) on the container. The question then becomes whether the container can withstand that pressure.

What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
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.
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.
How do gases behave in a closed container?
Since you have specified a closed container, the amount of gas doesn't change, and the volume that it occupies doesn't change. The only thing that is likely to change is the temperature, and changes in temperature will cause corresponding changes in pressure. And if the pressure gets too high, your closed container is going to explode. So avoid overheating.
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 would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed containe?
A reduction in the temperature of the container.
Is the partial pressure of a liquid or solid in a closed container measured at equilibrium at a given temperature?
vapor pressure
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.
In a closed containerwhat effects does pressure have on a gas volume and density?
The gas pressure in a closed container increases with volume and increased temperature. Likewise, the pressure will decrease with decreased temperature.
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.
In a closed container if you increase the temperature will the pressure also increase?
yes because it directly proportional with it
What will cause a a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Either decrease the amount of gas, or decrease the temperature.
What happens when solute particles are added to a pure solvent in a closed container at a constant temperature and pressure?
it decreases.
Do Gases have a definite shape and volume true or false?
False. Gases in a container take the shape of the container. The volume of a gas increases with temperature and inversely with pressure, except when in a closed container where volume remains the same as the volume of the container and the temperature and pressure will vary.
