because it has the most loosly bounded paricles.
If the space in which the gas is inside doesn't change, the volume of gas doesn't change
does gas take the shape of it's container and can change volume
The volume decreases
The matter that can change shape and volume is gas.
Change the pressure and/or the temperature of the gas.
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.
Temperature can be measured by determining the change in volume using gas thermometers. As a gas is heated, its volume increases due to the expansion of the gas molecules. By measuring this change in volume, the temperature of the gas can be calculated using the ideal gas law.
No, changing the volume of a container filled with gas will not change the mass of the gas. The mass of the gas remains constant unless gas is added or removed from the container. Changes in volume only affect the pressure and density of the gas.
Volume ChangesThe volume of any solid, liquid, or gas will change with changes in temperature.
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.
