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.

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.


Why an elevated temperature increases the pressure exerted to the inside of container?

In a closed system the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature (Gay-Lussac law).At higher temperature the volume tend to increase but in a container the volume is limited.


Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in closed rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?

Because the pressure increases The real answer is: Charles's Law. He found that if you increase the temperature of a constant pressure the volume increases also.


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.


What happens when the temperature of a gas increased?

If you increase the temperature of a gas, its particles (atoms or molecules) will speed up. If it is in a closed container, the pressure will also increase.

In a closed container if you increase the temperature will the pressure also increase?

yes because it directly proportional with it


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

A decrease in temperature or a decrease in the number of gas particles in the container will cause a decrease in gas pressure. Additionally, if some of the gas particles escape from the container, it will also lead to a decrease in pressure.


How to find gauge pressure in a closed container?

To find gauge pressure in a closed container, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the total pressure inside the container. Gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure.


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

A decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container as the gas molecules will have less kinetic energy, resulting in less frequent collisions with the container walls. Alternatively, removing some of the gas from the container will also lower the gas pressure as there are fewer gas molecules present to exert pressure on the walls.


What happens when solute particles are added to a pure solvent in a closed container at a constant temperature and pressure?

it decreases.


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.


Which is not a factor that affects the pressure of a gas in a closed container?

A. temperature B. volume C. number of particles D. size of particles
