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).
