Question #229116

  1. A sealed container contains nitrogen gas. Use the kinetic theory to explain what happens to the pressure inside the container when the temperature is increased. 

Expert's answer

In ideal gas equation,

PV/T=constP*V/T=const

So in sealed conteiner V=constV=const. In this case,

P/T=constP/T=const

So when T increases P must also increase. It means that increase in temperature increases pressure.
