SUMMARY
The pressure of water in a sealed container can be determined using the ideal gas law and the principles of thermodynamics. When water is heated from temperature T1 to T2, the change in pressure can be calculated by applying the coefficients of compressibility and thermal expansion, which are assumed to be constant. Relevant equations include the Clausius-Clapeyron relation and the ideal gas equation. Providing known values such as initial pressure and volume is essential for accurate calculations.
