Because as there is a pressure between the gas molecules and as the molecules have more the force of attraction between as they gets closer to each and as the gas is compressed the molecules have less intermolecular force,the pressure the pressure increases pressure increases the volume of the gas gets decrease and according to Boyle's law also V( Volume) is inversely proportional to the temperature

V =i\p(inversely propotional)

The volume of a gas can change because the more atoms there are, the bigger the object is. For example, the more helium you put into a balloon the greater the volume is.

the volume of a gas can change because for a gas the particles are not held together and they move in all directions.

What kind of substance can be compressed into a jar to change its volume?

A 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.


Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?

In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.


Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?

Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.


Can the volume of gas change?

yes...... because gas particles are far apart (this is wy it is gas and not liquid or solid) it can be compressed into a smaller space. (to a certain point)yesYes


Is compressed natural gas a liquid?

no it's a gas, compressed to around 1% of normal volume. If it was compressed to the liquid state, you'd call it liquified natural gas (LNG).


How is pressure affected when a gas is compressed?

When a gas is compressed, so volume is decreased, the pressure increases. P=1/V


How many states of matter can be compressed?

One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.


Does the vloume of a gas change when its compressed?

Yes, when a gas is compressed it could form into a solid or liquid substance.


Define compressed natural gas?

Compressed natural gas is natural gas under pressure which remains clear, odorless, and non-corrosive. This is when natural gas is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.


Does a fluid's density change when it is compressed and attenuated?

Yes it does change because its mass does not change but its volume does. When it is compressed the density will increase because its volume does. When it is attenuated will decrease because the volume does. Density is mass over volume. Remember: it only works because its mass stays the same and the volume changes.


Does gas have a definite volume and can change volume?

does gas take the shape of it's container and can change volume
