Assuming constant amount of gas and temperature, pressure will increase as volume decreases. Conversely, pressure will decrease as volume increases.

If you squeeze on a filled balloon, the volume decreases. The pressure of the air on each square inch of the balloon increases, which causes it to eventually pop if the pressure gets too high.

Assuming constant amount of gas, a temperature change will already change the volume of the gas. As temperature rises, the gas expands, causing more pressure to be exerted on the balloon.

Assuming constant temperature, adding more gas also increases the volume and thus increases the pressure.

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 causes gas to pressure a sealed bottle at room temperature?

Gas molecules inside the sealed bottle exert pressure on the walls of the bottle due to their random motion and collisions with the container's surface. This pressure builds up as the gas molecules move faster and collide more frequently at room temperature.


How can you tell that the substance in the container is a gas?

If the substance takes the shape of its container, has no definite volume, and can be easily compressed, it is likely a gas. Additionally, gases typically exert pressure on the walls of their container and expand to fill the available space.


Which direction does a vapor material exert a pressure or force?

A vapor material exerts a pressure in all directions equally, as described by the ideal gas law. This means that the vapor applies a force outward in all directions, including against the walls of a container.


You are collecting gas over H2O in an experiment does the atmospheric pressure have anything to do with the pressure inside the gas collection container?

Yes, the pressure inside the collection container will be exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure if the water level in the collection container is level with the rest of the water. If the atmospheric pressure is different, then the pressure inside the collection container will be different, and that will affect how you calculate the amount of gas collected. If the pressure is different due to the difference in altitude of the location, or even different weather, the results will be different. Simply measuring the atmospheric pressure with a barometer will allow you correct for any such differences.

How do gas particles exert pressure on their container?

'This is because the air particles are bumpinginto each other and the walls. When this happens it causes pressure on the walls because of the speed the air particles are moving


What causes pressure in a car tire?

The air molecules bouncing around off the inside of the tire. If you force something into a confined space that is usually allowed to be free it will exert pressure(Force) on th walls of it's container. An increase in tire temperature or friction will cause the air pressure to increase while colder temperatures will cause it to decrease.


Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?

The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.


How do fluids exert pressure on a container?

Fluids exert pressure on a container due to the weight of the fluid above it pushing down. This pressure is distributed evenly in all directions, causing the container to experience a force perpendicular to its surface. The pressure increases with depth, as more fluid weight is pressing down.


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.


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.


Why gasses exert pressure?

As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.


Do all fluids exert pressure?

Yes, all fluids exert pressure. Pressure is a fundamental property of fluids and is caused by the molecules in a fluid colliding with the walls of the container or object they are in contact with.


How does a gas exert pressue on the container in which it is being held?

A gas exerts pressure on the container because it is bouncing off the walls of the container at a certain force. The greater the force is the greater the pressure.


When you decrease the size of the container that the gas is in the gas will exert more pressure on the container what law or property is this?

This is part of Boyle's Law.


Does a random motion of a gas causes gas to expand until the it fills the container?

Yes, the random motion of gas particles causes them to exert pressure on the walls of the container, leading to the gas expanding to fill the available space. This is known as diffusion, where gas molecules spread out to achieve maximum entropy within the container.
