A pressure difference is created, low pressure on the inside and higher pressure on the outside (the atmospheric pressure). The atmospheric pressure crushes the plastic container, acting on the outer plastic walls.

How gas exerts pressure on the side of its container?

The molecules of the gas are in constant motion and their collisions with the sides of the container exerts a force which is felt as pressure.


How does heating a gas in a rigid container change its pressure?

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.


A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?

Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.


What is a table balance used for?

A table balance is used to weigh items and finding the differences between density in rocks/minerls. It is also used to equalize something. For example, If you need 8 ounces of milk when baking a cake, you would put the container you are going to put the milk in on one side and add weights to the other side until the sides are balanced. Then, you would add an eight ounce weight to the side the weight is on and pour milk into the container until the sides are balanced again.

Do particles bumping into the sides of a container cause pressure?

Yes, particles bumping into the sides of a container create pressure by exerting force on the walls. This pressure is the result of the particles delivering momentum to the walls as they collide with them.


Why does a meniscus make the liquid curve?

The meniscus looks curved because the liquid molecules cling to the sides of the container at the edges, but in the middle the surface "droops" because the molecules are not supported by the sides of the container.

Why a can container of liquid be half filled but a container of gas is always completely filled?

No, it is not. Briefly there are three (common) states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Solid materials are just that -- solid. Liquid matter conforms to the sides and bottom of the container that it occupies, like a glass of water, which canbe half full. Gases, however, will "spread out" to all sides of the container they occupy. Using your example, the balloon cannot be half full because the gas will quickly conform to all of the sides of the container. A gas, therefore, will occupy a container that is technically always full.


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.
