Which could cause a rigid container of gas to explode?
Molecules of a gas move randomly. In a sealed container they exert a force when they collide with the container walls and this applies a pressure to the container. If the cylinders heat up enough, their pressure will increase and they will explode. …
What is the difference between rigid and flexible gas containers give examples?
Flexible packaging is lightweight bags or pouches sealed using heat or pressure. For example, stand up pouches with a ziplock, laminated tubes, vacuum pouches, etc. Rigid packaging is at the other end of the spectrum. Packs with rigid designs usually include tin cans, cardboard or plastic boxes, or glass containers.
Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase if more gas is added to the container?
Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase if more gas is added to the container? Correct! As the number of particles increases in a container there are more collisions of the particles with the sides of the container which increases pressure.
Should a gas have a higher pressure when it is in a small container or a large one?
Boyle’s law Increasing the amount of space available will allow the gas particles to spread farther apart, but this reduces the number of particles available to collide with the container, so pressure decreases. Decreasing the volume of the container forces the particles to collide more often, so pressure is increased.
Does liquid fill a container completely?
Unlike gases, a liquid will not change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container. There is enough intermolecular bonding to give liquids a definite volume. Liquids are fluid, able to flow and take any shape. Liquids, like gases, undergo diffusion when mixed.
Why doesn’t a liquid expand to fill the container completely?
The attraction between the particles in a liquid keeps the volume of the liquid constant. The movement of the particles causes the liquid to be variable in shape. Liquids will flow and fill the lowest portion of a container, taking on the shape of the container but not changing in volume.
What will flow only sideways and down?
The most important liquid to living things is water. This answer is the students’ choice. A _______liquid______ will flow only sideways and down.
What is the hardest states of matter?
In solids, the forces keeping the particles together are relatively strong, and the particles stay very close to each other. The particles can vibrate but they are not moving around much. This is why solids are hard and rigid. Left on their own, solids will keep their shape.
What matter keeps its own shape?
solids
In which state of matter are the particles only vibrating?
solid
In which state of matter are the particles moving the fastest?
gases
