What effect does temperature have on gas pressure in a closed container?

In a closed container, the gas pressure means the gas atom exerts on the wall of the container.
If someone add volume of the gas to the container, it gives more chance for it to collide to the wall.
on the other hand, if you heat the container(also the gas inside), it gives the gas atoms energy so it runs faster, it speeds up the chance of gas exert on the wall. it can also be explained as, in a period of time, more gas atoms have exerted to the wall of container.

∙ 13y agoWell the temperature of a gas in a container is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas & according to the kinetic theory of gases (viewing gases as made of particles which are in constant random motion) the change in pressure with respect to temperature is given by 2mvx where m is mass and vx the x-coordinate of the initial velocity of the particle. (looking at it as the molecules are colliding with the walls of the container along an axis, x in this case). this proportionality is the basis (implicitly) of Charles's law, Gay-Lussac's law and Boyle's law.

∙ 10y agoIf you heat a closed container of gas, the pressure inside the container will increase. Such experiments have to be done cautiously, because at some point the pressure will be great enough to cause the closed container to explode.

What would the effect on temperature and volume be if you changed the number of moles of gas in a container?
In a container the volume remain constant but the pressure increase.
What is the direct effect of increases in the amounts of this gas?
Increasing the amount of a gas increases the temperature and pressure in a container
What would be a direct effect of increase in the amounts of this gas?
Increasing the amount of a gas increases the temperature and pressure in a container
If you wanted to predict how temperature will effect the volume of a gas what factors must be held constant?
If temperature increases, then pressure increases. Temperature measures the average speed of particles, so if the temperature is high, then the particles are moving quickly and are colliding with other particles more forcefully. Pressure is defined as the force and number of collisions the particles have with the wall of its container. So if the high temperature causes the particles to move quickly, they are going to collide more often with the container, increasing the pressure. This remains true as long as the number of moles (n) remains constant.
What effect does the size of the container have on the pressure of the liquid at its bottom?
The horizontal dimensions of the container ... like length and width ... don't make any difference. But the pressure at the bottom is directly proportional to the depth of the liquid, which is ultimately limited by the height of the container.

What effect does an increase in temperature have on a gas's volume and pressure?
As indicated by the Ideal Gas Laws, increasing temperature will tend to increase both volume and pressure. Of course, volume can't always increase, that depends upon the flexibility or inflexibility of the container that the gas is in, and if the volume does increase that will counteract the increase in pressure that would otherwise have happened. Temperature, pressure, and volume are all interconnected in a gas.
How can you make the pressure of air less than normal?
Well the easiest answer I can think of is to use the ideal gas equation and look at the terms and their effect on pressure. PV=nRT == P=(nrRT)/V, as can been seen from the equation: Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature and inversly proportional to Volume. So you trap air inside a fixed volume container. (Note: not every container will work. The walls of the container must be able to withstand the imbalance between the new inner air pressure and the atmospheric pressure.) Then simple cool the container. If you have gauge fixed to the rigid container (measuring the interior) you will see a drop in air pressure inside the container.

What is the effect of temperature change on the pressure of a contained gas?
When temperature increases, pressure also increases.
How does temperature effect the pressure of a gas?
If the volume of the container is not fixed, increasing the temperature will cause a gas to expand (increase the volume), and contract when cooled (decreasing the volume). This would be the case for a gas inside a piston, or inside a rubber balloon. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the temperature will increase the pressure, and decreasing the temperature will decrease the pressure. This would be the case for a gas in a closed solid container, like a canister or sealed metal box. Increasing pressure will cause the gas to contract (reducing the volume), and decreasing the pressure will cause the gas to expand (increasing the volume). Again, this is if the volume is not fixed. If the volume is fixed, then increasing the pressure will increase the temperature, and decreasing the pressure will decrease the temperature. These concepts are all determined by something called the Ideal Gas Law. To find out more about how this works, see the Related Questions links below this answer. Gases can also be changed to a liquid or solid if the temperature is too low or the pressure is too high. As an example steam changes to a liquid when it touches a cold object, and nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid nitrogen by compressing it to very high pressures.
