If a balloon is squeezed what happens to the gas inside?

When a balloon is squeezed, the volume of the balloon decreases. This causes the gas inside the balloon to be compressed, increasing the pressure of the gas.


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.


What physically causes gas pressure and how can you increase the pressure of gas?

Gas pressure is caused by the gas molecules moving back and forth.You can increase the gas pressure by putting gas into a container with hard walls, i.e. not flexible as in a balloon, and doing one or more of the following:Increasing the amount of gas (pumping gas in)Increasing the temperatureReducing the volume (as in a piston)For more details, read about the "ideal gas law".


What does increasing pressure cause gas particle to?

Increasing pressure causes gas particles to move closer together and have more frequent and forceful collisions with each other and the container walls. This results in the gas becoming more compressed and its volume decreasing.


How does the expansion of a monatomic gas affect its properties?

When a monatomic gas expands, its properties change. The expansion leads to an increase in volume, which in turn decreases the pressure and temperature of the gas. This causes the gas to cool down and its density to decrease. Overall, the expansion of a monatomic gas results in a decrease in pressure, temperature, and density.

What causes a pressure in a gas?

Heat. The addition of heat causes expansion and spreading of the molecules which in turn causes an increase in pressure.


Why do you think more pressure on a gas causes the volume of the gas to decrease?

Increased pressure causes the gas molecules to come closer together, thus the volume also decreases.

How is the pressure affected by the collision of gas particles?

The more the collisons the higher the pressure, the lesser amount of collisons the lower the pressure.


What causes pressure in a container?

The kinetic theory states that gas pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules impacting on the sides of the container.


What causes pressure in closed container of gas?

What causes pressure in a closed in container of gas?

Why will a container of gas explode if it is heated?

Heating a container of gas increases the pressure inside the container as the gas particles gain more kinetic energy and move faster. If the pressure exceeds the container's capacity to hold it, the container can rupture or explode. This is due to the buildup of internal pressure interacting with the container's structural integrity.
