If the size of the container is increased atoms have further to travel between collisions with the wall so collisions are less frequent and thus the pressure exerted is reduced.

When the temperature of a gas gets higher what does its pressure do?

Increase. As the temperature increases, the particles hit the walls of the container more often and with more force. This causes the pressure to increase, since the definition of pressure is the number and force of collisions the particles have with the walls of its container.


Why cant you put pressure on a square container?

You can put pressure on a square container; however, if the pressure exceeds the material's strength, it can lead to structural failure. Pressure acts uniformly on the surfaces of the container, but if the container's design is not robust enough to handle the internal or external forces, it may deform or break. The shape of the container also affects how stress is distributed, with corners and edges often being points of weakness. Proper engineering and material selection are crucial to ensure that square containers can withstand applied pressures.


What of the following would increase the pressure of a gas in a container?

The pressure of a gas in a container can be increased by raising the temperature of the gas, which causes the molecules to move faster and collide with the container walls more frequently and with greater force. Additionally, reducing the volume of the container while keeping the temperature constant will also increase the pressure, as the gas molecules have less space to move and collide more often. Lastly, adding more gas molecules to the container will increase the number of collisions with the walls, thereby raising the pressure.


What flows from one container to another?

Various substances can flow from one container to another, such as liquids like water, oil, or juice, which move due to gravity or pressure differences. Gases can also transfer between containers, often through diffusion or changes in temperature and pressure. Additionally, granular materials like sand or rice can flow when poured from one container to another. In all cases, the flow is influenced by factors like viscosity, density, and the shape of the containers.


Are storms often caused by low air pressure or high air pressure?

low air pressure because it said in the book general science that almost all stors are caused by low air pressure.

What will happen to the pressure inside a closed container of gas if more gas is added to the container?

It starts bubbling then it explodes. -I think it would just become more pressurized, it depends how pressurized it was before. But yes, it would explode if it had too much pressure.Yes, it could explode (depending on the type of container), but the main point is that the pressure would increase. Pressure is defined as the number and force of collisions between the particles and the wall of the container. If you're adding more gas to the container, then you are increasing the number of particles in one space; therefore, they will collide more often with the container.


Are liquid often stored in open container?

No, not usually. This is because the liquid will evaporate if it is kept in an open container.

What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a rigid container if the temperature of the gas temperature of the gas decreases?

Cooling a pressurized container will cause the internal pressure to decrease.This works in reverse too. Depressurizing a pressurized container will lower the internal temperature (and by conduction, the temperature of the container itself). This is why ice often forms around propane gas cylinders after extended use.


A warning on an aerosol can states Caution container may explode if heated explain Using the particle theory of matter why such a warning is necessary?

Heat causes particles to move faster, and the faster a praticle moves, the more energetic are its collisions, thereby exerting more pressure on the walls of any container that the particles are in, and enough pressure gives an explosion. This warning is necessary on aerosol cans because garbage is often thrown into incinerators, and that is not safe in the case of aerosol cans which will explode.


Explain how a change in temperature affects the pressure inside a container?

On an atomic scale, atoms are constantly vibrating. This vibration along with the electronic orbitals of the atom limit the minimum distance between two atoms. With increase in temperature the amplitude of this vibration increases. This leads to an increase in the minimum distance. This increase in the minimum distance manifests itself as an increase in the volume at a macroscopic scale.


What is the relation between absolute and gauge pressure?

Guage pressure is the pressure in excess of the atmospheric pressure, which is around 15 psi. Absoute pressure is the pressure relative to a vacuum. Guage pressure can be negative if you are measuring pressure in a container which has been evacuated. Absolute pressure is always positive. The different systems came about because guage pressure is easier to measure, and is often the relevant property for the task at hand anyway. As an example, consider a car tire. When measured with a common tire guage, which reads guage pressure because it is balancing forces with the atmosphere on one side, the pressure in the tire is 35 psi. Put the car in orbit in space, and the guage would be reading absolute pressure. It would read 50 psi.


How does the concept of liquid incompressibility affect the behavior of fluids under pressure?

The concept of liquid incompressibility means that liquids cannot be easily compressed or squeezed into a smaller volume. This affects the behavior of fluids under pressure because when pressure is applied to a liquid, it does not compress much, causing the liquid to transmit the pressure evenly in all directions. This is why liquids are often used in hydraulic systems to transfer pressure and energy efficiently.

Why does glue not stick to its container?

Glue is designed to stick to other surfaces, not its container. The container is typically made of materials that are resistant to adhesion, such as plastic or glass, which prevents the glue from sticking to it. Additionally, the container is often treated with release agents or coatings to further discourage sticking.
