A good example of this would be a hot air baloon. When you heat the air (gas) inside, the molecules spred out, move faster and overall the whole quantity gets less dense, and moves up through the cooler air outside.

When a sealed gallon can is heated, the temperature of the gas inside the can increases, causing the gas molecules to move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the can. This increase in collisions results in an increase in the gas pressure inside the can.

Gas expands under heat so the pressure would rise when a sealed gallon can is heated.

What will happen if a glass of bottle filled with a liquid sealed tightly and heated?

As the liquid is heated, it will expand and create pressure inside the bottle. If the bottle is sealed tightly, the pressure will build up, potentially causing the bottle to explode due to the increased pressure. It is important to be cautious when heating sealed containers to avoid any potential hazards.


What will happen in a sealed bottle when the air is heated and then allowed to cool?

As the air inside the sealed bottle is heated, it will expand and increase in pressure. When the air is allowed to cool, it will contract and decrease in pressure. This change in pressure can potentially cause the bottle to deform or even explode if the pressure builds up too much.


Why do tin cans get crushed if cooled after heated and closing is mouth?

Assuming the can can be sealed. When the can is heated the air inside it expands. If the can is then sealed and allowed to cool the air inside contracts which causes the pressure inside to drop. Because the outside air pressure is now greater it crushes the can.


When a sample of a gas is heated in a sealed rigid container from 200 K to 400k the pressure exerted by the gas is?

If a bottle is tightly sealed with heat what would happen?

If a bottle is tightly sealed and heated, the pressure inside the bottle will increase as the air or gas inside expands. This pressure build-up could potentially lead to the bottle exploding if the pressure becomes too great for the bottle to contain. It is important to be cautious when heating sealed containers to prevent accidents.


How do seawater boils at 45 degree centigrade?

It wouldn't, unless you put it in a sealed and heated vessel and pumped most of the air out, creating a really low pressure..


Is the volume occupied by the gas in the flask approxmately the same greater or less than before it was heated?

Assuming the flask is sealed - the volume remains the same but the pressure increases


If a tin is filled with hot water and sealed then covered with cold water What causes the tin to become dented?

The outside air pressure dents the tin. The water or air inside a sealed metal container will contract when cooled from the outside (by conduction through the can). When it was sealed, the pressure on the inside was the same as on the outside. But the contraction reduces the pressure on the inside, causing the external air pressure to squeeze the can, and possibly cave it in. This is widely demonstrated in another experiment using dry ice. A sealed gasoline can of about a gallon (4 liters) is placed on a dry-ice bed and cooled until the outside air pressure crushes the can.


What makes popcorn really pop?

Each kernel has a little moisture in it. When the moisture is heated and boils, since the kernel is sealed, it explodes under pressure from the boiling moisture which has no where to go.


Does Liquid nitrogen explode with heat?

Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly when heated, which can lead to a pressure build-up. If contained in a sealed container, this pressure can cause the container to rupture explosively. Liquid nitrogen itself does not explode when heated, but the rapid expansion can lead to potential safety hazards.


Who heated broth in sealed flasks?

Louis Pasteur was the scientist who demonstrated that microorganisms in broth could be killed by heat. He conducted experiments with sealed flasks to show that the growth of microorganisms did not occur when they were exposed to heat.
