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.

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.


What happens when gas particles heats up and the temperature rises?

They will attempt to move apart. The effect of this on the gas contained therein depends on how rigid your container is. If you have a real flexible container like a balloon, the gas will increase in volume. If it's a rigid container like a gas cylinder, the pressure will go up.


A student is monitoring the pressure of a gas in a rigid container. The amount of gas particles and the volume of the container are held constant. How will the pressure be affected if the container is?

If the container is heated, the kinetic energy of the gas particles will increase, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently with the container walls. This increase in collisions will lead to a higher pressure within the container.


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 happens to the speed of gas when heated?

The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.

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.


Is it true In a rigid container when the speed of the gas molecules increases the speed of the gas also increases?

It is true that, in a rigid container, when the speed of the gas molecules increases, the temperature of the gas rises. This has nothing to do with the speed or lack of speed of the gas as a whole.


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

Yes, it is true.


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.
