Question

A tightly closed container contains $500ml$ of gas. Now, the gas is carefully transported into a $1000ml$ container without any leakage. What is the volume of gas in the new container?

• A. $250ml$
• B. $500ml$
• C. $1000ml$
• D. $1500ml$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$1000ml$

The volume of any gas is equal to the volume of the container in which it is present. This is because gases try to occupy the maximum space that is available. So, when a gas of $500ml$ is transported into a container of $1000ml$, it occupies the entire space that is available i.e.,$1000ml$.
