Yes. You can, for example, boil water at room temperature if you apply a vacuum pump to the container. However, if it was ONLY a sealed container (reduce the pressure and then take the vacuum pump away), the vapor increases the pressure and the whole thing comes to equilibrium and stops boiling.

Can liquid nitrogen evaporate from a sealed container?

Yes, liquid nitrogen can evaporate from a sealed container due to its low boiling point of -196°C. The pressure will increase in the container as the liquid nitrogen evaporates, eventually leading to a rupture or explosion if the container is not designed to handle the buildup of pressure.


How can water made to boil at 95 degrees celsius or 105 degrees celsius?

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. To boil water at 95 degrees Celsius, you can increase the pressure in a sealed container, which raises the boiling point. Similarly, to boil water at 105 degrees Celsius, you would need to decrease the pressure in a sealed container to lower the boiling point.


Why would a sealed container of air be crushed after being frozen?

A sealed container of air would be crushed after being frozen because as the pressure decreases, the temperature also decreases. The air molecules inside of the sealed container shrink when it is frozen. The colder the air, the lower the temperature.


Will the pressure in a sealed container change in a pressurized air plane?

Oh, dude, you bet it will! When you're cruising at 35,000 feet, the pressure inside a sealed container will definitely change because the air pressure outside the container is lower due to the higher altitude. So, like, if you're bringing a bag of chips on board, don't be surprised if it looks like it's about to pop open mid-flight!


The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?

equal to the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the weight of the liquid above the point of interest.

Is water pressure affected by water temperature?

hardly at all hardly at all, however in a sealed container, the pressure will rise as temp goes up, and near boiling it will go sky high

Why will a container of gas explode when heated?

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.


As the pressure in a vessel containing water is reduced with a vacuum pump it begins to boil at some point but will it continue to boil if the vessel is sealed after it begins to boil?

If the vacuum pump is on, the water will continue to boil. If the vacuum pump is off as the vessel is sealed, the boiling will stop at a point of equilibrium.


Which change results in an increase in gas pressure in a sealed and flexible container?

Increasing the temperature of the gas will result in an increase in gas pressure in a sealed and flexible container, as the gas particles will move faster and collide more with the container walls, exerting a greater force per unit area.

Would the boiling point of water be higher or lower on a mountain peakhow would the boiling point be affected in a pressurized system?

The higher the pressure being exerted on the water, the lower the boiling point becomes. Yes the boiling point is affected in a pressurized system. If you put water in a sealed container and kept raising the pressure it will eventually reach it's boiling point without the need of adding heat.


Why does air pressure in a cars tire increase after a long drive?

As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.


A sealed container filled with 1 mole of gas is cooled to -45C what effect will this have on the gas inside?

Cooling the gas will decrease its temperature and therefore reduce its average kinetic energy. This will result in a decrease in pressure and volume of the gas inside the sealed container.
