Heating a gas in a closed container would increase it's pressure. This would happen because when you heat the gas, the particles' kinetic energy increases, making them move faster, and more. They will hit the sides of the container and create pressure.

How does heating a gas in a rigid container change it's presure?

Heating a gas in a rigid container will increase the pressure of the gas because the molecules of the gas gain kinetic energy and move faster, leading to more frequent collisions with the walls of the container. This increased frequency of collisions results in a higher pressure within the container.

How does the pressure of an enclose gas in a rigid container change when the gas is heated?

It doesn't change


How do conditions change inside a rigid container when you use a pump to add gas to the container?

When gas is added to a rigid container using a pump, the pressure inside the container will increase due to the increase in the number of gas molecules colliding with the container walls. The temperature inside the container may also increase slightly due to the compression of the gas. The volume of the gas in the container will remain constant since the container is rigid and unable to expand.


What occurs when a rigid container of gas is heated?

Given that the container is "rigid" the size of the container holding the gas cannot change. Since the volume of the container remains constant, so too does the volume of the gas. The pressure however will increase.


When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?

No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.


How does heating air affect its density and presure?

Heating air causes its molecules to gain kinetic energy and move faster, increasing the space between them and decreasing air density. This decrease in density leads to lower air pressure because there are fewer molecules in a given volume.


Is the volume of a gas a result of gas particles pushing on the walls of a container true or false?

If the container is rigid, then its volume cannot change. However, if more gas particles are pushing on the walls, then it is the pressure that is changing.


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.


In a rigid container as the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure of the gas will decrease.?

Yes, it is true.


Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?

The pressure of the gas inside the container will increase due to the increased kinetic energy of the gas molecules. This is described by the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.


Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a close the rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?

If temperature increases, either the volume or the pressure must increase. Since you have limited the volume by closing the container, pressure must increase.
