The pressure inside the container will increase. Pressure (P) is force(F) divided by the area(A) it hits on. If you decrease the area, you increase the pressure.

If the volume of a container of air is reduced?

If the volume of a container of air is reduced, the pressure of the air inside the container will increase. This is because the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional according to Boyle's Law. The particles inside the container will collide more frequently with the walls, leading to an increase in pressure.


Why does soda burst?

Soda can burst when the pressure inside the container exceeds its capacity. This can happen if the container is exposed to extreme temperatures, shaken vigorously, or if it's faulty. When the pressure builds up, the container can rupture, causing the soda to burst out.


What is the pressure of a container that has a vacuum inside of it?

Since there's no particles present, there's no pressure.


What will the pressure inside the container become if the piston is moved to the 1.80 L rm L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant?

This problem can be solved with the ideal gas law. The original pressure and volume of the container are proportional the final pressure and volume of the container. The original pressure was 1 atmosphere and the original volume was 1 liter. If the final volume is 1.8 liters, then the final pressure is 0.55 atmospheres.


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.

What would happen to the pressure if you cooled down the container?

When a container decreases in size what will happen to an amount of gas in the container?

If the container decreases in size, the pressure inside the container will increase. This is because the gas molecules are more confined and collide more frequently with the walls of the container. The amount of gas remains constant, but the pressure changes due to the reduced volume.


If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?

Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!


What would happen to the air pressure when the air is sucked out?

When air is sucked out of a closed container, the air pressure inside the container decreases. This occurs because there are fewer air molecules colliding with the walls of the container, resulting in a lower pressure.


What will happen to the pressure of gas in a container if the temperature increases?

The gas is likely to expand and raise the pressure inside the can. Should the pressure become too great the can will burst.

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when?

If the lid was on the container all you would have to do is take the lid off so that the gas can escape. In other words, when the gas escapes, the amount of pressure is reduced (decreased). Certainly true if the gas pressure inside was originally higher than atmospheric pressure. Another way would be to cool it.


What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?

The pressure in a container is due to the particles of the gas hitting the inside walls of the container.

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.
