Rohit transferred $500\text{ mL}$ of nitrogen gas from a $1\text{-litre}$ cylinder into an empty $2\text{-litre}$ sealed container. What will be the final volume occupied by the nitrogen gas?
$500\text{ mL}$
$1\text{ litre}$
$2\text{ litres}$
$2.5\text{ litres}$
Solution
Gases do not have a fixed volume; they expand to fill the entire volume of the container in which they are placed.
