Molecules of a gas, like molecules of any substance, take up a certain amount of space. So gas molecules can be measured by volume which is the distance (length, width, height) that the molecules occupy. How tightly they are packed together in a container is measured by pressure. Knowing both values will tell you how much of a gas is present.

Im a substance that has no fixed volume or shape?
A gas is a substance with no definite shape or volume.
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of that gas if?
the pressure and temperature are held constant. ideal gas law: Pressure * Volume = moles of gas * temperature * gas constant
How is the volume of gas measured?
The volume of a gas is totally dependent on the container it is in, gas fills its container completely by its particles spreading out. The volume of the container is the same as volume of the gas inside the container. gasses are most commonly measured in SI units (Liters, mililiters, .....).
Which physical state is described as having a variable shape and variable volume?
The volume of a gas is subject to change with temperature and pressure.
Which state of matter has neither definite shape nor volume?
The state of matter that has no definite shape or volume is a gas.
Does a real gas have volume?
Yes, gas has volume.
Does a gas have a deifinite volume?
The volume of a gas is dependent on the pressure and temperature of the gas.
What is neglegible volume?
the negligible volume of a gas means that gas has a volume which is too little
How does compressing a gas affect volume?
Compressing a gas means increasing the pressure on the gas and according to Boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a given amount of a gas(at constant temperature) . Therefore increasing the pressure (compression) of the gas reduces the volume of the gas.
Explain how to measure the volume of gas?
The volume of a gas can be determined by measuring the volume of the container that holds it
How do you work out the volume of gas?
No problem. The volume of a gas is the volume of whatever container you're keeping it in.
Does gas have shape and will volume affect it?
Gas tends to take the shape of the volume it's in. If the volume is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will increase.
Do liquids and gas have definite volume?
Liquids have a definite volume but gas do not
What is is the volume of gas?
A gas takes the shape its in. This means it does not have a definite volume.
How does the pressure of a gas change when the volume of the gas increases?
The volume decreases
What the volume of gas?
A gas takes the shape its in. This means it does not have a definite volume.
The volume of a gas must increase?
The volume of a gas must increase when the temperature of the gas increases.
