In a closed container, if the temperature of a gas is increased, what happens to the pressure?
Correct Answer: Pressure increases
- Step 1: Understand that a closed container means no gas can escape.
- Step 2: Know that gas is made of tiny particles that move around.
- Step 3: When the temperature increases, the particles move faster.
- Step 4: Faster-moving particles hit the walls of the container more often and with more force.
- Step 5: More hits and harder hits on the walls mean higher pressure inside the container.
- Step 6: Therefore, if the temperature of the gas increases, the pressure also increases.
