Which of the following statements is wrong for gases?
(a)Gases do not gave 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

A

Gases do not gave 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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
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 cyliner
So, it is a wrong statement
