Change the pressure or change the temperature. Volume changes inversely with pressure and directly with temperature. That is to say, if you squeeze it, it gets smaller. If you heat it, it gets bigger.

How does the change in temperature affect the volume of gas?

As the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume.


How can volume of a gas change?

Because gas takes the shape of it's container, it can change volume quite easily. No matter what container you put it in, a gas takes that shape and volume.


Why does gas have a variable volume?

That's because they are quite easily compressible. There are no forces holding the gas particles together. (apex)


What type of matter can change shape and volume?

The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.


Why does gas have no specific volume?

gas has no specific volume because the molecules can be compressed or expanded, which would change the volume. like there is a smaller volume of gas in a can of soda then in the atmesphere around you.


When a liquid is heated how does its volume change?

When a gas is heated, its' volume increases.


How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?

If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.
