Answer to Question #229116 in General Chemistry for mash

Question

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. 

Answer 1

In ideal gas equation,

$$P*V/T=const$$

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

$$P/T=const$$

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