What determines the shape and volume of a a gas inside a container?

The shape of the container
A 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.

∙ 6y agoThe 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).

What determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The container determines the shape.
What determines the shape and volume of a gas in a continer?
Gas doesn't have a shape or volume of itself. Gas will take the internal shape and volume of whatever container you put it in.
What doesn't have a definite size and takes the shape of their container?
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
What is the phase of matter not having definite volume or definite shape?
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.
What determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The container determines the shape.
What determines the shape and volume of a gas inside a contaners?
The container.
What determines the volume and shape of gas in a container?
The container.
What determines the shape and volume and gas?
the container that it is in

The volume of a gas is the same as the volume of its?
The volume and shape of a gas are determined by its volume and shape of its container.
Does gas have volume and shape?
The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.
What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?
The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.

Does a solid substance has both a shape and volume of its own?
Yes. Liquids take the shape of a container but not the volume, and gases take the shape and volume of a container.
