Question

What happens when a gas is heated in a closed metal container

Answer 1

When gases in containers are heated, their molecules increase in average speed. This means that they exert a greater force when they collide with the container walls, and also collide with the walls more frequently. The gas is therefore under greater pressure when its temperature is higher.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope this helps!!

Explanation:

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.
