The pressure produced by a vapor (gas) is a result of the collisions of the gas molecules with the sides of the container.

When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?

When force is exerted on a fluid in a closed container, the pressure will increase. This is because pressure is directly proportional to the force applied to a fluid.


What happens if you heat a closed container?

Eventually it will explode because the heat causes the gas particles inside the container to accelerate and thus, create pressure by colliding with each other and the sides of the container. This pressure --> boom.


What is gas pressure in a closed system is caused by?

Gas pressure in a closed system is caused by the constant collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container. These collisions create a force that exerts pressure on the walls of the container. The more frequent and vigorous the collisions, the higher the gas pressure.


When particles in a closed container are heated they what?

When particles in a closed container are heated, they gain kinetic energy and move faster. This increased movement causes the particles to collide more frequently and with greater force against the container walls, which leads to an increase in pressure inside the container.


Is the partial pressure of a liquid or solid in a closed container measured at equilibrium at a given temperature?

Yes, at equilibrium in a closed container, the partial pressure of a liquid or solid is the pressure exerted by its vapor in the system. This can be measured using techniques like gas chromatography or by using the ideal gas law.

How to find gauge pressure in a closed container?

To find gauge pressure in a closed container, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the total pressure inside the container. Gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure.


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.


How can one determine the gas pressure in a closed container?

To determine the gas pressure in a closed container, you can use a pressure gauge or a manometer. These devices measure the force exerted by the gas molecules on the walls of the container, which is directly related to the gas pressure. By using the readings from the pressure gauge or manometer, you can calculate the gas pressure in the closed container.


How can you relate temperature and volume with pressure?

if you have a closed bottle or can, etc. , of water and you heat it up to a high enough temperature, then pressure builds up, right? Well if the container is filled with water then the pressure will build up faster, causing the container to burst, but if the container is only filled maybe halfway, it will take a little longer for the pressure to build up enough to cause the container to burst.


How is the gas pressure produced in a closed closed container of gas?

the particles of gas bouncing into the walls of the container.


What can handle more pressure a small closed container or a large closed container if the amount of liquid placed in it is the same?

What will cause a decrease in pressure in a closed container?

A decrease will occur if the lid of the container is opened.
