Question

Which one of the following statements is wrong for gases? (A) Gases do not have a definite shape and volume (B) Volume of the gas is equal to volume of container confining the gas (C) Confined gas exerts uniform pressure on the walls of its container in all directions (D) Mass of gas cannot be determined by weighing a container in which it is enclosed

Mass of gas can be determined by weighing a container in which it is enclosed as follows: Mass of the gas = mass of the cylinder including gas - mass of empty cylinder So, it is a wrong statement.

Q. Which one of the following statements is wrong for gases?

Gases do not have a definite shape and volume

Volume of the gas is equal to volume of container confining the gas

Confined gas exerts uniform pressure on the walls of its container in all directions

Mass of gas cannot be determined by weighing a container in which it is enclosed

Mass of gas can be determined by weighing a container in which it is enclosed as follows:
Mass of the gas $=$ mass of the cylinder including gas $-$ mass of empty cylinder
So, it is a wrong statement.
