Pressure of water in a sealed container

In summary, the pressure of water in a sealed container is determined by the depth of the water and the density of the liquid. Changes in temperature can cause the water to expand or contract, which can lead to changes in pressure. The shape of the container can also affect the pressure, with a narrower container having a higher pressure. In a sealed container, the pressure will remain constant unless there is a leak or the water evaporates. The pressure can be measured using a pressure gauge or a manometer, which measure the force exerted by the water on a specific area.

If you have water in a sealed container at one temp T1 and the you heat the water to temp T2 how could i find the pressure with just this info. Also assumeing the coefficents of compressibility and thermal expansion are constant.

As per forum guidelines you need to show some working before we can help you.

Do you know any relevant equations? What about any known values?
 

Related to Pressure of water in a sealed container

1. What is the pressure of water in a sealed container?

The pressure of water in a sealed container is determined by the depth of the water and the density of the liquid. The deeper the water, the higher the pressure will be.

2. How does the temperature affect the pressure of water in a sealed container?

The temperature of the water does not have a direct effect on the pressure in a sealed container. However, changes in temperature can cause the water to expand or contract, which can lead to changes in pressure.

3. Does the shape of the container affect the pressure of water inside?

Yes, the shape of the container can affect the pressure of water inside. For example, a narrow container will have a higher pressure than a wider container with the same depth of water.

4. Can the pressure of water in a sealed container change over time?

In a sealed container, the pressure of water will remain constant as long as the temperature and depth of water do not change. However, if there is a leak or the water evaporates, the pressure will decrease over time.

5. How is the pressure of water in a sealed container measured?

The pressure of water in a sealed container can be measured using a pressure gauge or a manometer. These instruments measure the force exerted by the water on a specific area, which can then be converted to pressure using the formula P = F/A, where P is pressure, F is force, and A is the area.
