What causes the pressure that a gas exerts on the wall of its container?
Kinetic theory explains the pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container. This describes elastic collisions between the atoms or molecules in the gas with the container's walls, which collectively exert a measureable pressure.
Does gas keep the shape of its container?
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
How gas exerts pressure on the side of its container?
The molecules of the gas are in constant motion and their collisions with the sides of the container exerts a force which is felt as pressure.
How is the volume of gas measured?
The volume of a gas is totally dependent on the container it is in, gas fills its container completely by its particles spreading out. The volume of the container is the same as volume of the gas inside the container. gasses are most commonly measured in SI units (Liters, mililiters, .....).
It has no definite shape and fills its container?
A gas has no definite shape and will fill any container it's in.
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
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 determines that shape and volume of a gas inside a container?
The shape of a gas inside a container is determined by the shape of the container itself, while the volume is determined by the pressure, temperature, and amount of gas present. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, describes the relationship between these factors.
What determines the shape and volume of a gas inside a contaners?
The container.
What is the name of the container that holds gasoline?
That could be a gas tank or a gas can...
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 does the airlock device do?
An airlock device is used for a container that holds gas. This device allows for the gasses to pass our of a container and not into a gas container. It is a safety mechanism and is used mostly on gas containers.
Explain how to measure the volume of gas?
The volume of a gas can be determined by measuring the volume of the container that holds it
What causes pressure?
The weight of the air The distance between particles of a gas determines the pressure. The distance can be decreased and the pressure therefore increased by either increasing the amount of particles of gas in the container, or by reducing the size of the container.
Does gas takes the shape of the container?
Yes. A gas will take on both the shape and size of tis container.
When a container decreases in size what will happen to an amount of gas in the container?
If the container decreases in size, the pressure inside the container will increase. This is because the gas molecules are more confined and collide more frequently with the walls of the container. The amount of gas remains constant, but the pressure changes due to the reduced volume.
