the container that it is in
The container.
The container.
The shape of a gas inside a container is determined by the shape of the container itself, while the volume is determined by the pressure, temperature, and amount of gas present. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, describes the relationship between these factors.
The shape of a gas in a container is determined by the shape of the container itself. The volume of a gas in a container is determined by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the amount of gas present. These factors affect the motion of gas particles, which in turn influences the volume the gas occupies.
The shape of the containerA property of a gas is that it expands to fill the shape and volume of a container. An exception may be the case where there is more than one gas and the heavier gasses will tend to settle to the bottom of the container.
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.
The shape of the gas is determined by the shape of the container (assuming that there is enough gas to fill the container). The volume of the gas is determined by the volume of the container (again assuming that there is enough gas present to fill the container.). When a gas is introduced into any container, it will assume the size and shape of the container if the container is filled. The exception to this rule might be if the pressure of the gas introduced is great enough to influence the shape of the container (i.e. blowing up a balloon).
A gas does not have a definite shape or volume.
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.
liquid has no definite shape and a solid has no definite shape or volume
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
Gas will take the shape of whatever container it is in. One of the characteristics of a gas is that it has no definite shape or volume.
