temperature increase
The pressure of a contained sample of gas can be increased by
increasing its temperature, or by decreasing its volume, or by
injecting additional mass into it.

What causes gas to have pressure?
The number and vibration of the molecules that make up the gas cause the pressure.
What 3 factors affect the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
The mass of the gass, the volume of the container holding the gas, and the temperature of the gass. If you have a container of gas, the greater the mass of the gas, the more molecules there are in the container, and this leads to greater pressure. If you have a fixed mass of gas, changing the volume of the container holding the gas will cause the pressure to change. Increasing the volume of the container decreases the pressure. Decreasing the volume of the container increases the pressure. If you increase the temperature of a gas without changing its mass or volume, pressure increases.
What will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed containe?
A reduction in the temperature of the container.
Why does a restriction cause a drop in pressure?
A restriction will increase pressure and decrease volume
What will cause a a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Either decrease the amount of gas, or decrease the temperature.
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 would heating a sealed glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
Will the pressure in a sealed container change in a pressurized air plane?
Well pressure within a sealed container is defined by the pressure surrounding the container. If the pressure outside is equal to the pressure within the sealed container, there is no positive or negative pressure gradient. If the pressure outside is less than the pressure within the sealed container, there is positive pressure increase within the container. Because air in the higher atmosphere is of lesser pressure than at ground level, bringing a seal container filled at ground level to the higher atmosphere will cause the sealed container to increase in internal pressure. However, you asked what will happened within a pressurized airplane, pressurization within the airplane is meant to prevent the pressure within the cabin from dropping to that of the surrounding environmental pressure. Therefore a sealed container within a pressurized airplane should not change significantly, assuming the container was filled at ground pressure, the pressure which cabins are pressurized to.
Which of these changes would NOT cause an increase in the pressure of a gaseous system?
the container is made larger
Which of the changes would not cause an increase in the pressure of a contained gas?
The volume of the container is increased.
Why is it dangerous to heat a completely sealed container of a liquid or gas?
When the temperature increases gas and liquid are expending meaning that they are require more volume to occupy. Because containers are usually not expandable the increase of the temperate will cause some damage to the container eventually rising pressure due to the temperature increase will cause explosion which can be really dangerous for everything around.
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What between the particles of a gas and the walls of the container cause pressure In a close container of gas?
Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.
Why would cause the pressure in a sealed container of gas to increase?
Pressure based on kinetic theory of gases is given as P = 1/3 * rho * C2 Here rho is the density. Rho = M/V Hence P = 1/3 * M/V * C2 Hence for a given volume, ie V constant as we add more gas ie as M increases then Pressure has to increase. Hence the outcome
Why Heating a gas in a closed container will increase its pressure?
The gas molecules gain energy from the heat and so they speed up, causing the pressure to increase.
How would mass change if you place a burning candle in a sealed container?
When a fire is lit in a sealed container it is very likely to cause an explosion because of the build up of internal pressure from smoke.
What cause the pressure by gas molecules on their container?
What causes the pressure exerted by gas molecules on their container? idk
