Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a closed container, if the temperature of a gas is increased, what happens to its pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that we have a closed container with gas inside.
  • Step 2: Know that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 3: Remember that pressure is the force that gas particles exert on the walls of the container.
  • Step 4: Learn about Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that if the volume of the container is constant, pressure increases when temperature increases.
  • Step 5: Realize that increasing the temperature makes gas particles move faster.
  • Step 6: Understand that faster-moving gas particles hit the walls of the container more often and with more force.
  • Step 7: Conclude that as the temperature of the gas increases, the pressure inside the container also increases.
