Amelia Waters · Answer 1

Gases, unlike solids and liquids, have neither fixed volume nor shape. They are molded entirely by the container in which they are held.

Draven Edwards · Answer 2

Explanation : Gases, unlike solids and liquids, have neither fixed volume nor shape. They are molded entirely by the container in which they are held. We have three variables by which we measure gases: pressure, volume, and temperature ... From this, we derive the molar volume of a gas (volume/moles of gas).

Answer : The volume is determined by the pressure, the amount of gas present, and the temperature.
