GASES

- A substance (such as oxygen or hydrogen) that is like air and it has no fixed shape.
- Gases have mass, volume, temperature and pressure because gas is a matter its just that the particles of gases are
far from each other compared to those particles in solids and liquids.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASS & VOLUME

Mass - is the amount of matter an object contains.
Volume - is how much space it takes.

 What happens to the volume reading of the water-oil mixture when an air is introduced to it?
- The particles in a gas move quickly in all directions, but they don't get far before they bump into each other or the
walls of their container. When gas particles hit the walls of their container they cause pressure.

COMMONLY USED UNITS FOR VOLUME AND PRESSURE

Variable SI Unit Metric Unit English Unit
Volume  Cubic meter  Liter (L)  Quart (qt)
(m3)  Milliter (mL)  Gallon (gal)
