A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat

As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".

Answer:

As the gas absorbs more heat, the container will expand

Step-by-step explanation:

From kinetic theory of gases , we know that Temperature is the measure of the kinetic energy of a gas. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gases increases. The gases gain more motion thereby colliding with themselves and the wall of the container. The container will expand ,since

1. it is flexible

2. As temperature increases, the volume also increases

3. The gas molecules inside the container become more vigorous.

It might finally give way
