Question

Why does a gas from a small container when transferred to a large container occupy all the space available?

• A. Gas has no definite mass
• B. Gas has no definite shape
• C. Gas has no definite volume
• D. Gas has no definite density

Answer 1

The correct option is B Gas has no definite shape

From kinetic theory of gases the molecules are regarded as point masses, the space occupied by the gas becomes totally available to each molecule for free movement.

Hence, the correct option is B
