Why is it dangerous to heat a gas in a sealed container?
When gas in sealed container is heated, the gas particles gain kinetic energy and as the volume remains constant, and pressure increases because of increased motion of gas particles.Hence as a result of these, the container bursts

it's dangerous to heat a gas cylinder that is an enclosed cylinder because as you heat the gas cylinder, you're going to increase the pressure of the gas. Inside. Pressure is equal to a constant multiplied by T, so increasing the temperature increases the pressure. If we have our gas cylinder and we have inside a certain number of molecules, heating this up is going to cause the's molecules to move more quickly and collide with the walls of the container more readily and thus increase the pressure of the container. They could begin to collide with the walls of the container so readily at what at with such a high force that the pressure inside of the container is enough to rupture the container. And if the container ruptures, then that is a bomb. A bomb or an explosion is essentially the rapid expansion of a gas, and that's what would happen to the high pressure gas in a container that was heated up to the point of rupturing

The number 2 is also the smallest & first prime number (since every other even number is divisible by two).
