What causes a gas to exert pressure when confined in a container?

Assuming constant amount of gas and temperature, pressure will increase as volume decreases. Conversely, pressure will decrease as volume increases.
If you squeeze on a filled balloon, the volume decreases. The pressure of the air on each square inch of the balloon increases, which causes it to eventually pop if the pressure gets too high.
Assuming constant amount of gas, a temperature change will already change the volume of the gas. As temperature rises, the gas expands, causing more pressure to be exerted on the balloon.
Assuming constant temperature, adding more gas also increases the volume and thus increases the pressure.

∙ 9y agoIn a container, the pressure inside is exerted by the air molecules, striking the container's wall. When the air molecules increase in number, the pressure inside increases. This is because there are more collisions of molecules inside.

What pressure will 3.20 mol of N2 gas exert if confined in a 15.0 L container at 100C?
assuming it is an ideal gas: p=(nRT)/v=(3.2*.0821*373)/15 P=6.53 ATM
When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?
The pressure increases.
What pressure in ATM will 0.44 moles of CO2 exert in a 2.6 L container at 25 degrees celsius?
4.1 atm
Why does a gas exert more pressure if it's volume is reduced?
As the volume is decreased, the same number of molecules of air have a smaller space to move freely in. The number of collisions of molecules of air with the walls of the container per unit time increases. Since pressure is the force exerted over an area, the pressure increases.
Which direction does a vapor material exert a pressure or force?
Vapor materials exert their pressure in just about every direction
How do gas particles exert pressure on their container?
'This is because the air particles are bumpinginto each other and the walls. When this happens it causes pressure on the walls because of the speed the air particles are moving
Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?
The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.
How do fluids exert pressure on a container?
Fluids are constantly trying to spread out, and that exerts pressure on the container you put it in.
Why liquids exert pressure on the walls of a container?
To expand
What causes pressure in a car tire?
The air molecules bouncing around off the inside of the tire. If you force something into a confined space that is usually allowed to be free it will exert pressure(Force) on th walls of it's container. An increase in tire temperature or friction will cause the air pressure to increase while colder temperatures will cause it to decrease.

Why gasses exert pressure?
As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.
Do gases exert pressure?
Yes. Any sample of gas in a closed container will exert pressure on the container, as long as the temperature of the gas is above absolute zero. You can force the gas into a smaller volume by shrinking the container, but that action raises the temperature and pressure of the gas.
Would a sample of gas in a closed container in space exert pressure on the sides of the container if the gas was kept at standard temperature and pressure?
Even if the pressure inside a container is equal to the pressure outside a container, there is still pressure. It's like pushing a friend one way while he pushes you back. Neither of you may be moving, but you're still pushing. The sample of gas would exert exactly one atmosphere of pressure (or 100 kPa) on the container. The question then becomes whether the container can withstand that pressure.
How does a gas exert pressue on the container in which it is being held?
A gas exerts pressure on the container because it is bouncing off the walls of the container at a certain force. The greater the force is the greater the pressure.
When you decrease the size of the container that the gas is in the gas will exert more pressure on the container what law or property is this?
This is part of Boyle's Law.
When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?
The pressure increases.
