depends on the type of gas and container;) In general, every gas will slowly come out of the container due to diffusion processes; sometimes gases can chemically react with container material. At last, if gas pressure is too high, the container can just blow up.

What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?

A decrease in gas pressure in a closed container could be caused by a decrease in temperature, which reduces the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, leading to fewer collisions with the container walls. It could also be caused by a leak in the container allowing gas to escape, or by a chemical reaction that consumes gas molecules.

Gas Pressure


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.


How do gases behave in a closed container?

Since you have specified a closed container, the amount of gas doesn't change, and the volume that it occupies doesn't change. The only thing that is likely to change is the temperature, and changes in temperature will cause corresponding changes in pressure. And if the pressure gets too high, your closed container is going to explode. So avoid overheating.

How does heating a gas in a rigid container change 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.

What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?

Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.


Does gas rise or sink in a closed container?

Gas rises in a closed container because it is less dense than the surrounding air.


What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?

If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.

How can one determine the gas pressure in a closed container?

To determine the gas pressure in a closed container, you can use a pressure gauge or a manometer. These devices measure the force exerted by the gas molecules on the walls of the container, which is directly related to the gas pressure. By using the readings from the pressure gauge or manometer, you can calculate the gas pressure in the closed container.
