to measure the volume of A gas you can take a container and weigh the container and say the container is 1.2 pounds . You then put the gas in the container and subtract the 1.2 pounds
========================================================
The answer above is a shaky protocol at best for measuring the weight of the gas,
and doesn't address the volume of the gas at all.
The reason it's shaky is because it ignores the presence of air inside the container
during the preliminary weighing of the container, treating the container as if it's
completely empty.
The question asked how to measure the volume of a gas. After all this rigamarole,
the answer is easy: The volume of a gas is the volume of the container it's in.
Gas always expands to fill all the space you give it and exert pressure on the
boundaries in search of more space. Take a gas out of a small container and
put it in a larger one, and it'll happily expand to fill the larger one.

∙ 13y agoWell there are two ways in the metric system Liters and cubic meters take your pick and the volume can be found from the equation below.
(PV= MRT)
or
(Pressure) * (Volume) = (Molar Mass of Gas) * (R constant) * (Temperature of gas)

Or, it could refer to the amplitude of a sound wave.
Or it could refer to a book - usually in a series of books.

Why it is difficult to measure the volume of a gas?
The volume of a gas is dependent on pressure and temperature.
Boyles law is used to measure what?
Boyles law refers to an experimental law involving gas and its pressure, used to measure the volume of that gas. It ultimately measures the pressure and volume of that gas.
Explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
Gas particles spread apart, filling all the space available.
If the temperature remains constant what will happen to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the volume of the container that holds the gas Explain?
The pressure of the gas would rise. Explain? OK, Blow up a balloon and tie the end. Decrease volume of the container (step on balloon). Balloon explodes (Pressure rose)
Explain why the metgod of displacement is used to find volume?
The basic way is you take the volume of the water before you put the object in the water, then you measure the volume of the water and object.
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
Is it possible to measure the volume of invincible gas?
NO because gas has no definite volume.
Why it is difficult to measure the volume of a gas?
The volume of a gas is dependent on pressure and temperature.
How does the design of gas particles explain why gases have no definite volume?
the gas
How do you measure the density of a gas?
To measure the density of a gas you find the mass and volume, then divide the volume by the mass.
Boyles law is used to measure what?
Boyles law refers to an experimental law involving gas and its pressure, used to measure the volume of that gas. It ultimately measures the pressure and volume of that gas.
What do you need to measure gas accurately?
The volume of gases is measured with gas-meters.
What unit of measure is used for gas?
That depends what aspect of the gas you want to measure: its volume, its pressure, its temperature, its density, etc.
Explain how you can find the volume of helium gas in a one liter tank?
You don't have to find the volume ! If gas is put into a closed container, it fills it. The volume of gas in a one liter tank is one liter.
Can volume be measure if the temperature of the gas is at constant pressure?
yes
What should you measure when studying a gas?
The pressure, volume, and temperature
How does the kinetic theory explain the measurable volume of a gas?
Kinetic theory explains the measurable volume of a gas, by stating that, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on it, where pressure is created by the number of molecular collisions.
