Is the volume of a gas a result of gas particles pushing on the walls of a container true or false?

If the container is rigid, then its volume cannot change. However, if more gas particles are pushing on the walls, then it is the pressure that is changing.

Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
What is a state where particles take the shape of the container and have a definite volume?
its b
What is true of all particles of a gas encloosed within a container?
Well, since a gas spreads to encompass its container, it should have the same volume as its container.
If the number of particles of gas is increased in a container does the gas pressure rise?
Volume = Mass/Density. In a larger container the mass of the gas remains unchanged, the density decreases so the volume increases.
What type of particles shapes and volumes characterize solids liquids and gases?
A solid has a definite shape and volume and the particles in a solid stay in the same position relative to each other. A liquid has a definite volume, but not a definite shape, and the particles in a liquid slide past and over each other. A gas has neither a definite shape nor volume but fills the entire container it is in. The particles in a gas move all around and bounce off each other and the walls of the container.
Do particles in a gas fill the bottom of their containers regardless of the shape or volume of the container?
No. The particles in a gas spread out and completely fill their entire container, regardless of the shape or volume of the container.
Does increaseing the volume of a container increase the pressure of gas in a closed container?
Consider your bicycle pump. When we decrease the volume in the pump by pushing the plunger, the volume of the gas (air) gets smaller.
The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?
The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.

Explain what happens to a gas when it is put into a container?
The gas particles will spread out to encompass the entire volume of the container. The particles are constantly in motion and will run into the walls of the container creating pressure (basically). If heated, the particles will move faster, and slower if cooled.
How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
What happens to an ideal gas in a closed container when temperature rises?
In a container of constant volume, when the gas is heated, thermal energy is converted to kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy causes the gas particles to accelerate. This acceleration of particles causes the particles to crash into each other, increasing pressure. Because it is a closed container, the number of particles and the volume the particles take up remain the same.
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, .....).
What 3 factors affect the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
The mass of the gass, the volume of the container holding the gas, and the temperature of the gass. If you have a container of gas, the greater the mass of the gas, the more molecules there are in the container, and this leads to greater pressure. If you have a fixed mass of gas, changing the volume of the container holding the gas will cause the pressure to change. Increasing the volume of the container decreases the pressure. Decreasing the volume of the container increases the pressure. If you increase the temperature of a gas without changing its mass or volume, pressure increases.
If the number of particles of gas is increased in a container does the gas pressure rise?
Volume = Mass/Density. In a larger container the mass of the gas remains unchanged, the density decreases so the volume increases.
Which is not a factor that affects the pressure of a gas in a closed container?
A. temperature B. volume C. number of particles D. size of particles
