It compresses the gas and if it compresses too much, the container might not hold.

What happens to the intrapulmonary pressure when intrapulmonary volume increases?
Pressure increases as volume increases, granted the container stays the same.
Does a gas has both the shape and volume of its container?
A gas will expand to fill its container. This gives the gas the shape and volume of its container.
If matter expands to fill the volume of its container it is a?
if matter expands to fill the volume of its container its a suspension.
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
How do you select the correct container to measure volume?
Volume
What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?
If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.
What happens to to the volume of a container when a rock is added?
Placing a rock in a container does not alter the volume of the container, although it does occupy some of that volume.
What happens to the volume of a solid when it is moved to a larger container?
The volume of the solid remains the same.
Can the volume of air change?
Yes, the volume of any gas can shrink or expand to fit into its container. If you want to increase the volume of a gas, you can decrease pressure and/or increase the temperature of the gas.
What happens to the intrapulmonary pressure when intrapulmonary volume increases?
Pressure increases as volume increases, granted the container stays the same.
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured into a container with a different shape?
Liquids take on the shape of any container they are placed in. If the volume of the container is less than the total volume of the liquid, them the difference in quantity will overflow the top of the container.
If you melt plastic do you end up with the same volume?
Not if the original form included air. Styrofoam (packing material) will shrink to a simply amazing degree. Dense plastics will result in exactly the same volume, but if formed into a beverage container, then obviously, the air in the container won't stick around.
What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?
The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx
What is the volume of a 2x2x2 container?
The volume of a 2x2x2 container is 8.
Can a container hold volume or mass?
A container holds volume.
If the temperature of that gas that is in t he container is decreased what happens to its pressure?
If the volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.
What happens when two gases that do not react with each other are placed in the same container?
The volume of the container becomes the volume of the gas. The molecules in gases are in constant motion with direction, this causes the initial volume to expand to the volume of the container since the molecules eventually disperse to every region of the container.
