Any gas is composed of atoms (if it's an elemental gas, like neon or argon), diatomic molecules (if it's one of the 5 diatomic gases: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine), or molecules (if it's a compound like carbon dioxide.) These particles are in constant motion, filling the container they're in evenly, but also colliding randomly against the walls of the container. These collisions result in a force being exerted on the container walls which translates as pressure. Increasing the kinetic energy of the gas will increase the motion and therefore the collisions, which means if you heat the gas, the collisions increase and the pressure goes up. This is how a hot air balloon rises when the pilot fires the burner.

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.


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.


How do you change hydrogen gas to a liquid?

Hydrogen is a gas. The only method that can cause this gas to become liquid is pressure.


Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?

The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.


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

A decrease in temperature or a decrease in the number of gas molecules in the container will cause a decrease in gas pressure. Alternatively, if some of the gas molecules escape from the container, the pressure will also decrease.


Why does gas cause shoulder pain?

Gas can cause shoulder pain because when gas builds up in the digestive system, it can put pressure on the diaphragm and surrounding muscles, including those in the shoulders. This pressure can lead to discomfort and pain in the shoulders.
