Solution

Answer:

The gas has not fixed volume. It occupies the volume of the vessel in which it is kept. [1 mark]
So, if the gas is heated in a vessel, at first the vessel will expand and with the expansion of the vessel the gas will expand. [1 mark]

Therefore, there is no apparent expansion in case of gas expansion. [1 mark]
