When you tip a container filled with gas, the surface of the gas does not remain level like a liquid would. Instead, the gas will expand to fill the available space within the container, and its surface will adjust based on the orientation of the container. However, due to the nature of gases, the concept of a "surface" is less defined compared to liquids, as gases do not have a fixed surface level.
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.
A gas will fill it's container freely, and evenly space itself throughout the container. Imagine an aerosol can of disinfectant sprayed into a room at one corner. The gas will eventually spread itself across the room evenly.
Pressure can be increased by decreasing the area over which the force is distributed, such as making the container smaller or applying an external force onto the surface of the container. This would increase the number of collisions between gas molecules and the container walls, leading to an increase in pressure despite the temperature and volume remaining constant.
A manometer is used to measure pressure in an enclosed container of gas. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with liquid that reacts to changes in pressure inside the container. The liquid level in the arm of the manometer connected to the container will rise or fall based on the pressure, providing a measurement of the gas pressure.
On the molecular level pressure is caused by individual gas molecules interacting with the surfaces of a container. Pressure is defined as force per unit area, so in the most basic level pressure can increase with an increase in force applied to the container or a decrease in area the molecules are interacting with. The decrease in area can be from a smaller container, or an increase in force can be from an increase in the velocity of the molecules. This increase in velocity is usually due to an increase in energy (typically heat).
Generally, gas is trapped in a container, or under a curved surface.
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 volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.
When filling a balloon with gas, the pressure increases as more gas particles collide with the inner surface of the balloon. In a closed container, the gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container due to collisions with the surface. In a tire, the pressure is a result of gas particles colliding with the inner walls of the tire.
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.
Atoms in a gas move about randomly, and some will bounce against every surface of the container.
A gas will fill it's container freely, and evenly space itself throughout the container. Imagine an aerosol can of disinfectant sprayed into a room at one corner. The gas will eventually spread itself across the room evenly.

Pressure can be increased by decreasing the area over which the force is distributed, such as making the container smaller or applying an external force onto the surface of the container. This would increase the number of collisions between gas molecules and the container walls, leading to an increase in pressure despite the temperature and volume remaining constant.
Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.
The force exerted by a gas on its container is due to the collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container. This force is known as gas pressure and is determined by the number of gas molecules in the container, their speed, and the temperature of the gas.
