Depends on the strength of the container. A balloon, for instance, won't keep it's shape but a glass jar can within proportion. See Boyle's Law. I oppose gas does not keep the shape of anything that has yet to be inviented

Can a gas change is shape to suite the container?

Yes it can See a gas it needs to change its shape in order to fit into a container or anything that it can be in for instance....If i had a square container and a cirlce container the gas is going to have to change its shape to fit in to the round container...if the gas starts out in the square container it has to change its shape into a circle to be able to be in the circle container


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

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.


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

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).


What shape does gas take?

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.

What determines the shape and volume of a gas in a continer?

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.


It has no definite shape and fills its container?

A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.


Will helium take the shape of its container?

Of course. What a strange question! It implies that helium may be able to keep in a shape that is not the same as its container and thefore leave a vacuum in parts of the container.
