If you had a 200 ML container full of helium gas, and you transferred all of the gas into an empty 1.00 ml container, would the 1.00 ml container be full or only 1/4 full?
gas expands to fill the contaner.
full
To determine if the 1.00 mL container would be full or only 1/4 full after transferring all the gas from the 200 mL container, we need to calculate the ratio of the volume of the original container to the volume of the target container.
The ratio of the volumes is found by dividing the volume of the original container by the volume of the target container:
Ratio = Volume of original container / Volume of target container.
In this case, the volume of the original container is 200 mL, and the volume of the target container is 1.00 mL.
Ratio = 200 mL / 1.00 mL = 200.
The ratio is 200, which means that the 1.00 mL container would be 200 times smaller than the original container.
Therefore, if you transferred all of the gas into the 1.00 mL container, it would only be able to hold 1/200th (1/4%) of the original volume. Therefore, the container would be virtually empty or could be considered "only 1/4 full" in comparison to the original 200 mL container.
