Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.

Do gases have a definite volume?
no
Why do solids hold their shape but liquids of and gases of the same element do not?
the particles in solids are closer together than in liquids and gases allowing it to keep its shape
Why can gases change volume?
Gases can change volume because they take up the whole space of the container, room, etc. that they are contained in.
What assumes the shape and volume of its container?
water. :)
What is the temperature is the gases are at zero volume?
-273.15 celcious
How is absolute zero originally determined?
The volume of gases decreases with temperature; extrapolating the volume/temperature relationship, it looked as if all gases would reach a volume of zero at approximately the same temperature, about minus 273 degrees centigrade.
How are solids and liquids different that gases in terms of volume changed?
the volume of them all stay the same
Who stated that if two gases are the same temperature and volume the number of molcules will be the same?
Robert Boyle
What is the summary of Avogadro's law?
Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.
What statekeeps the same shape and volume?
A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.
What is the best summary of avogadros law?
Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.
What best summary of Avogadro's law?
Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions
Are water and gases the same?
Water and gases are the same in some regards in that they have volume, are made up of smaller molecules, and are free flowing. They also have differences in that water is a liquid while gases are in a gas state.
How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
What would happen to the pressure of a gas sealed container if the volume increases and the temperature stays the same?
If the temperature increases, then the volume of the gases cannot stay the same. The pressure will keep building until it overcomes the integrity of the container its contained in and causes an explosion.
When two gases of a chemical reaction are both at the same temperature and pressure and they have the same molar volume what is their stoichiometric ratio in the chemical equation describing the reac?
If the gases have the same molar volume, the stoichiometric ratio would be one to one. Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a substance. This indicates that there is a 1:1 molar ratio of each gas.
What is avagadro's law in science?
The volume of ideal gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of particles/molecule.
